Wizards
were odd creatures, Maka decided yet again. She blew a derisive
bubble at Soul, who threw up his hands.

“It’s
not my
fault
there’s no meat today, okay, go take it out on the cook, not me!”
he shouted, oversize sleeves flapping all about. “I’m the world’s
first involuntary
vegetarian,
thanks to you, you beggar!” What a whiny baby. She hadn’t even
splashed him.

She
scowled up through the water at the rippling, stained-glass blur of
him. As always, she wished she could get him out into deeper water;
like this, half-crippled in the rocky shallows, she felt like a pet
goldfish at his mercy.

He
pulled off his floppy, pointed wizard’s hat, bent down, and plunged
his face into the water when she crooked a finger. She smiled a
little (he couldn’t help but stare at her double-row of sharp
teeth, so nearly like his own and yet so different) and said sweetly,
“Are you going to throw up again if I go catch myself something
fresh?”

Soul
went vaguely green, but gargled bravely, “No! Shut up!”
Crystalline bubbles like polished opals flooded from his mouth, a
jewel for each word. It was appropriately fairy tale-like, she
thought, considering how ethereal he looked right now,
half-submerged, his handsome, frowning face haloed in dancing
sunlight.

Maka
laughed out loud, glad that for once he could hear
it,
and released his ears when she noticed his eyes lingering on her
lips. She couldn’t stop the pleased way her tail flipped around,
though, which was embarrassing.
