That sound.... Grating against her earbone, the humming more felt than heard, was disorienting. Translucent eyelids drooped over whirling jewel toned eyes as weariness overcame her. She dipped, steadied and turned to look at her "partner" and she gaped in surprise. He was no longer behind her but falling rapidly towards the forbidding surface of the water below. Snarling at his ineptitude she dove after him, hind claws ready to snatch the winged snake from the air. Stupid, stupid fool. The litany ran around in her mind, almost a chant that fell faster than she did. Seeing the water rushing up at her she swiped her hindclaws at Zigorot, if she didn't catch him this time she wasn't about to make another attempt. Catching him would mean that her plans wouldn't have to be altered, but playing the part of the hero wasn't in her job description.

She felt something impact against her talons and she reflexively closed them feeling something pop and then a warm wetness spreading against the thinner scales around her talons. Looking down she saw that she had caught him....literally by the tail. It was his blood that was currently staining her talons and she cursed. She would have to take time out to clean her talons before they went much further, otherwise they would itch terribly until she did. Seeing land not far from where she was gliding she turned her wings and made for the shore. She was so very tired, and carrying two sacks of skin only made the burden worse. She would flay Zigorot's hide for this after she rested, that was a promise to herself that she was determined to keep.
