Adam's tail lashed out with precise force, not to kill, but to stun. The small, amphibious fish-creature with needle-like teeth flopped onto the rocks, dazed and terrified. "Alright, Lilith. See what you can get."
"Of course," Lilith murmured. She approached, and with a terrifyingly gentle motion, one of her slender, needle-sharp legs extended and tapped lightly against the creature's forehead, a faint crimson glow emanating from the tip as she attempted to brush its primitive mind.
She was silent for a long moment, her red eyes distant. Then, she retracted her leg, a flicker of distaste in her graceful demeanor. "It is as I feared. Its mind is a swirl of instinct—hunger, fear, the direction of the current. There are no maps here, only the echo of its last meal. It is too... simple."
Adam sighed, then gave a quick, merciful squeeze with his Constrict. The creature went still.
