"I don't mind this at all, little guys," Kinimi said, her tail waving beneath the surface of the shallow water. "But once we get there, your luck is sure to run out."

"A betrayer talking to another of its kind," Hitryel said from near the tail, facing the wrong side. "Are you sure you're not letting out too much?"
