meredith sputtered, water spraying from her lips as she reeled from the sudden ambush. ye slimy bastard! she yelped, laughter bubbling between gasps as she thrashed in the water. her paws churned beneath her, trying to regain footing in the slick riverbed, but nox’s weight pressed her down just enough to keep her off balance.

rolling onto her back, she gave him an exaggerated pout, eyes narrowing as her tongue flicked out in defiance. but ye better know, she added with a smirk, next time, i’m takin’ ye down. fair or not.
