There is a shadow, a great pale shape against the sun. Its form is the sleek, gracefully curving form of a shark, moving like a ripple of light through the water ( Read more... )

Hi.. I'm.. not terribly well right now but... uh... *bites his lips slightly then give a weak smile and small wave* Welcome anyway!

a_pale_death May 1 2006, 17:05:16 UTC

Oooh, wrong answer.

"Not distressed, I trust...?" The back archs ever so slightly, and the fins start to come down just a little - the beginnings of a classic attack posture. "Thank you for the welcome."

theboywho_lived May 1 2006, 19:47:06 UTC

*blinks as he notices the attack position* ... Er... Distressed wouldn't be the exact word for it, no. I had some... bad news earlier but I'll be OK..

He shifts his posture slightly - still not really at rest, but no longer preparing for an approach.

"Ah. Wise of you."

*this would be Jim about this close to swearing off swimming forever*

Oh my... *tries to get his voice under control* Quite well, thanks. And yourself, sir?

a_pale_death May 1 2006, 17:06:29 UTC

"I am, as ever, well." And the laughter is still there - not a pleasant sound - but he seems to still be relaxed.

as_a_rush May 1 2006, 19:20:27 UTC

*shudders at the laugh, but continues to be polite-- Jim is many things, but not stupid*

I'm glad to hear it.

*... though if Jim had any sense he would be making his exit now instead of continuing to stare at the big shark*

"Most kind of you."

Ed really has no particular interest in Jim as long as he's composed - he ends distress, true, but he isn't hungry at the moment.

The Lotus blinks: off-on. It hasn't, if you'll forgive the phrase, the hard-wiring to be instinctively afraid of the shark, but it's wise enough to be impressed and suitably cautious. "Greetings."

a_pale_death May 1 2006, 17:08:38 UTC

A wry quirk of the tail. "Greetings."

He moves easily about so as to better examine the Lotus (curse the evolutionary lack of binocular vision) and, well, smiles. "Interesting. From another world, are you?"

silver_sanguine May 1 2006, 17:21:56 UTC

"I guess so." Mirrors swivel, following his movements. "Either that, or you are."

a_pale_death May 1 2006, 17:24:47 UTC

"Let us say we both are. It's true enough."

Pelagic sharks do not stay still - they are eternal prowlers. But at the moment the Master Shark's prowling is idle and not particularly far ranging, the closest he gets to stillness.

a_waywith_words May 1 2006, 17:11:59 UTC

"ED!" Kit's body language is nearly all delight, with only the slightest bit of caution in it. "I didn't get a chance, before - Thanks."

a_pale_death May 1 2006, 17:13:54 UTC

"Spratling," he says, and while a shark cannot, strictly speaking, smile, the feel of one is in his voice now. "I see you thrive."

a_waywith_words May 1 2006, 17:14:45 UTC

"I do. So does Nita."

a_pale_death May 1 2006, 17:15:41 UTC

"Excellent. She had best continue to do so." He laughs again, harsh as ever, but perhaps with a strange, slow warmth in it. "I hate ingratitude."

ayrie_spirit May 1 2006, 20:16:21 UTC

*is quite familiar with sharks, but has never seen anything quite like this* *figures his presence is likely to be noticed sooner or later anyway, so appears in front of Ed and bows; knows when respect is due* Greetings, ancient one.

a_pale_death May 1 2006, 22:00:41 UTC

He twists. "Ah. Good evening, sprite."

ayrie_spirit May 1 2006, 22:17:13 UTC

What brings you to a place like this, Lord Shark?

a_pale_death May 1 2006, 23:01:39 UTC

"Now that is a long story."
