Ouroboros Spine aeons exist in a myriad cast

To his surprise, Sitri offered him a smile. “Well in that case, why don't we see if we can't stir it up? You're here, I'm here, and I'm not about to let anything eat you. Or anyone else for that matter.” With that, Mordecai took a couple of tempting steps towards the water. Not so much to tempt the creature that possibly existed into biting him, but more in the sense that if it did exist, maybe they could catch it.

“I bet we could catch it. Most of the turtles I've seen aren't too terribly big, so theoretically we could probably pull it out of the water. And their shells are pretty tough too, so it's probably got a belly full of turtles that need rescued,” and without realizing it, he was being incredibly silly. But the silliness was needed in a time like that; their overall morale was laughable if anyone considered it high. “C'mon,” he prompted, tossing his head over towards the water. Maybe Sitri would go with him. Maybe he wouldn't. Still, he was willing to try.
