Ouroboros Spine shark in shallow water

she is surprised to have to travel far up to visit nuak. however, shikoba remains shoulder to shoulder with the duck and does not say a word. though, as she hears kukutux's call be ignored. she cannot help but lay her ears back a bit, signaling annoyance with his lack of obedience to kukutux. though, shikoba must remind herself that this boy is no special character in their ring but instead their prisoner, and soon enough, a marker around the edges of the spine. she peers in to see something quite large in the chamber where the boy is held and notes his large size compared to her own.

she turns her head towards the duck. "this is nuak?" she asks for confirmation. perhaps this task will not be as easy as she had hoped.
