This shark was persistent and Tal had a sudden, horrible thought: had Ludo woven sharkbait into his Rockhide Vest?? It was enough to make him break out in a cold sweat, but the rough nose the side of his fist found flinched back and wiggled away and the courier breathed a sigh of relief.
Yeah, he wasn't sticking around for this!
Boreal watched from her perch with interest as the shark backed up and then made another dash towards her human, this time with a leap. Her rumbled warning was enough for Tal to get his free hand on the gunwale and pull, lifting himself out of the water and tumbling to the deck of the Peregrine as the shark flashed by. There was a tearing sensation right around his knee and he bit back another yelp as he twisted around to check the wound--
Twas but a scratch, as it turned out, but the shark had torn off the bottom of one of his pant's legs. Tal scrambled back to the rail and leaned over, glaring down into the water. "An' stay fucked off!" he yelled after the dark shape below.
Grumbling grumpily, he shook out his hair and got back to scraping webbing off his ship.
