Just as Jarvan finished his question, a bloody Matsuba came leaping out of the water. Damn it, he should have expected that. What else could a frowning fish be? Even worse, that same frowning fish was now soaring straight towards his face like some red and golden arrow.<br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Oh, for fuc-..." </span>He was able to utter before he was forced to dodge. Or at least try to. Turns out that dodging a surprise attack from a big koi-like fishing flying at you isn't all that easy, regardless of how much combat experience you have. Especially when you have both hands full with a Nguruvilu... Oh wait, that was the name of the fo-... NOT THE TIME, BRAIN!<br/><br/>The fish collided with his face with a wet slap, almost knocking him off his feet while he trying to dodge in such a way not to hurt the Nguruvilu in his hands. Falling back, it took all of his control to fall in a somewhat controlled manner, his eyes closed against the wet fish wriggling in his face.<br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Gods... Bloody... Aarghh... Come on!" </span>He cursed, his voice frustrated and somewhat helpless as he fell on his back, cupping the injured Lillim in his hands so she would not get hurt. His back hit the ground hard, taking the impact for both the fish and the fox-snake Lillim. His hands relaxed, as he saw stars for a second. The fall had pressed the air out of his lungs quite effectively.<br/><br/>There he lay, with a splashing Matsuma on his chest and an injured Nguruvilu in his hands, trying to catch his breath in some godforsaken fisherman's village. Could this day get any stranger?<br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Okay, okay... Hold on... I don't mean any harm, damn it. Calm, calm..." </span>He groaned, trying to get his bearings.
