Wow, ok, sure, be like that. Look Hadama, we can't all be graceful underwater sea flapjacks. Koa's doing his best.
Which... is not very impressive. Turns out human bodies were not meant for slick and swift underwater movement, and so it's no surprise when Koa's attack goes absolutely wide. He watches with bulging eyes as Hadama glides effortlessly past, the butt of the trident tapping soundly and sending Koa careening off-track. But the young man has trained to think on his feet (or off them, in this case), and so instead of (further) floundering, he takes advantage of the course adjustment to change his tactic. With all the speed that he can muster, Koa grabs for Hadama's tail, hoping to wrap his rope around it and thus capture the Mer King. He may not be able to match the older man for speed or strength down here, but cleverness?
Ok, probably not that either. But a boy has got to dream.
