after masticating a particularly fatty edge of tailfin, bijou spoke.

"just passing through. you?"

the pleasantries they shared were poor pittance for bijou's appetite. she kept her countenance clean and polished. he would never see beneath those warm eyes the malevolent thoughts stirring like a cobra.

she let him leave with his life intact, but she did not forget him. come morning, bijou would leave and follow after vulcan -- ready for something besides tide-kill on the menu.
