Well, we could all be graceful underwater sea flap flaps, but Koa would need to Attune for that to happen and it seemed unlikely that today would be the day.
Still, Koa's efforts were worthy of respect, even if they weren't quite as successful as the young man hoped. He was undaunted and reacted quickly, Hadama noted, and though his choice of weapons were not, perhaps, traditional in underwater combat he was proving surprisingly effective with them. The mermanta did not quite make it past the determined young man before he felt an unexpected pressure around his tail where it began to narrow to a slender manta's whip-like tip.
Twisting around to see that he'd been caught the mermanta's eyes gleamed with approval--
Right before he began to lash his fishy appendage and dove off, attempting to shake Koa off or else drag the human behind him and and knock him down against the sea floor with every flex of that muscular tail.
