"I didn't want to be changed."
The sentence makes Lucinda's mouth twitch. She feels disappointed, but then hadn't she said the same to Anandi when she first made the offer? Hadn't she thought it to be some strange cult that involved answering to someone as her leader? She had been turned anyway and it changed her life for the better in the end. This should make her grateful for Anandi, but she would never say thank you to that woman. She would rather die a slow, horrible death.
For Torix, maybe he hasn't found the benefit in his new abilities yet. It didn't take long for Lu to feel drunk in the power and bloodlust. Maybe it will just take something more for him to realize it too. She could help him…
And she is about to offer, when he says the name of who turned him. She feels some relief that he didn't say Anandi, but the fact that it was Sereia makes her laugh. At first, it's a quiet laugh because she almost doesn't believe him. Sereia, the kelpie who didn't want to be a kelpie, the one who was too scared and resented her kind? After a few moments, she starts cackling so hard that her stomach hurts.
"Oh, oh dear," she finally says through the fit of laughter. "Sereia? Oh, I wish I had been there to witness that. She must have hated every moment of it." And she can't help but laugh a little longer because that woman probably did hate herself very much afterwards. She let herself become more of a monster than she had to be out of hunger and now she and Torix will have to pay the consequences. Although, it's not a bad outcome for Lucinda, not at all.
"Are you jealous, Lucinda?" he asks her and she has let her laughter settle for now. Instead she looks at him with a gaze that is both playful and cunning. "Maybe," is all she says as she steps closer to him. Whatever scent that had been his has since been claimed by the sea, just as it did for her. There is only the salt, brine and blood, and it's so, so lovely.
Lu brushes the tip of her wing down his neck, instead wishing it could be her tail wrapping around him under the water. "Why do you not want to be one of us? Are we too scary for you?" she is fake-pouting now, but there is more than just her humor in the questions. The way he answers may help her decide just what she should do to him here on this beach or if she should drag him into the water to consume him.
"Speaking."
