That’s why when she relinquished her hold on it and the front half sunk into the sand, Swordfish ended up deep throating the entire gnarled branch he had been holding onto. Right into his mouth and down the back of his throat until he gagged violently.

Suzu said something about needing a break, being sorry. Swordfish heaved and retched, his back arcing funnily as he sucked air into the back of his throat. His eyes watered at the pain of the log having scraped against the inside of his mouth. After sputtering and heaving for several long seconds, the boy blinked with watered eyes at her and wheezed a breath of air.

S’fine… all good. He coughed again.
