Atlas watched the other Selkie swimming away like his life depended upon it, which it did. If he'd stuck around, he would've met the same fate as his friend. As he wondered why a Selkie would even attack an Undine, Iris spoke, making him automatically stiffen.
"Umm.. Thank you for saving me. I didn't know I was in Selkie territory.. I thought they were further west than thi-"
Iris froze as she her thoughts ran wild a moment; "Are you a Selkie?! Did you save me just to keep me all to yourself?!"
Atlas scoffed; "Do I look like a fur-covered blob to you?"
Iris was quite a moment, prompting Atlas to turn around and look at her. That was when he finally noticed the glow. 'Oh shit', was his first thought. Atlas' second was that it was impossible. 'Why didn't it glow the first time I met her?! WHY NOW?!'
