Dragoncrest Cliffs Steer clear of the sun

Last from me. <3

Well, she wasn't wrong.

Suzu? he asked, blinking out of his cower when he realized the whale was no longer moving and Chacal's daughter was standing alongside its enormous head. The pieces were slow to slide together in his brain, but they did just that. At length, his fear turned to anger.

Suzu! he yelled, trying to unglue his tail from his underbelly to raise it in righteous fury, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. If he did, she would see the wet trail down his leg, if she hadn't already noticed the dampened sand beneath his feet. That's a mean thing to do!

What did Swordfish see in her, anyway? She was a bully, or at least she was being one right now, pranking him to the point of pissing himself. It was tempting to throw the comment back in her face by remarking on how gross and fat she had become, but he wasn't much better and he was too embarrassed to put much heart into insulting her. Besides, it just wasn't really him.

Instead, he turned tail and marched away with his jaws clamped tight to stem the prickling of humiliated tears in his eyes. He never returned to the whale again.
