full speed ahead 'til I'm dead in the fast lane
"I can open jars with 'em," Jack boasts of his feet (he can't, but fucking who cares when this is the conversation), wading into the shallows after handing her the net and the spear. He can sense her in the periphery of his magic, getting to grips with the cloud manta the same as he is, except the captain stands quiet and still in the water, his eyes closed. He's tracking one of them as well, bejewelled and large, and its diving, flying trajectory is nearly within his grasp--
And Aurelia's voice hits the air, Jack blinking his eyes open to glance across at her. To his pleasant surprise, there's a manta wriggling in her net, and he nods his approval. "Three should do it," he says. "With an arm like that, you can--" THWAP.
Good job, Jack. Take your eye off the ball and get smacked by the wet fin of a low-flying cloud manta. The force of it throws him back into the water, in fact, and he manages to catch himself in his own net while he's at it. Smooth.
