That didn't stop the other Sea Serpents from cheering when the lever was pulled and the ropes were tightened. Silverfish went everywhere on those rest days with a bottle in hand, and he raised it to celebrate the scene. "Ayyyyeeeee! Shame about the woman though – she was too pretty to be hanged from a rope."
His comments soon changed when the woman's head was cut off, and tarred, and it was impossible to recognize her fair features. "Pretty?" Tian laughed at him. "She ain't pretty, old man. Are you blind as well as deaf?"
"I'm neither, you little shit," Silverfish said, kicking him in the behind. "Maybe she looks worse than I expected her to."
They'd amassed a little crowd of ten other Sea Serpent, and the Syndrans laughed at the familiar display. The act of Silverfish bullying Tian was something that needed no spoken language to translate.
