I hope the power-play's cool; let me know if I need to change anything. :)

Bones acknowledged his appreciative words with a small, firm nod and his warning about bones with a quirked brow, yet made no verbal reply to either. As for their relationship to one another, she didn't think Fox considered Jinx an outright enemy. They were rivals by nature, yet far enough away from each other for it not to matter much if at all. And, as far as young Bones was concerned at the moment, she didn't care what the adults' dealings meant or worry that it had any impact on her present dealings with Ira.

He demanded to know what she'd done and why she'd done it. She was busily leaping back and forth to avoid retaliation again when she stopped and crowed breathlessly, "It was a kiss, ye grog-snarfing freebooter!" Bones punctuated this declaration with a rowdy bout of laughter as she took to dancing hither and thither again.

With the suddenness of a serpent's strike, she suddenly bounded at him, rearing up onto her hind legs at the last moment, wrapping her forelegs about Ira's neck and tumbling them both into the water. They went under with a loud splash. Bones released her grip and rotated her legs, soon bursting through the skin of water and taking in a great breath. A broad smile slashed across her gray face, darkened by wetness, as she paddled in place and hooted, "Now yer sharkbait!" at her unwitting victim.
