Blackwater Islands searching for smoke in a stillwater pond

he is trying xD

Gabe was completely taken off guard when Akantha whirled around to face him, snarling with all the ferocity of the sea. His ears slicked back onto his skull, his head ducked down submissively. Why was she always doing that, going from nice to angry in mere seconds. He really couldn't get her personality figured out, and it scared him. He nodded when she asked if she'd made herself clear, though his thoughts kept telling him to ask, why? He luckily had enough common sense, so he locked the curious part of his mind up with a iron lock, and kept his mouth shut.

Her answer to his other question still didn't have the simple clarity he'd wanted. What he'd wanted to know, was do they let the guys leave, or kill them. But now that their conversation had turned rather one sided, he didn't ask again. Thanks. He said quietly, hoping that short phrase wasn't too much for the matriarch.
