Spice things up

In Mertac,

"This is the mermaid?" Kenna cackled in laughter as she stared at Melody.

Mich furrowed his brows, offended by her reaction.

Circling Melody who was still trapped in the bubble of water, she laughed at how calm and collected the mermaid was.

"Mich, are you sure you captured the right mermaid?" Kenna mocked, amused by how quiet Melody had been since her arrival.

Mich had his mouth gaped open in shock, disturbed by her quietness and reluctance to speak.

Pointing an accusing finger at her, Mich wished he could strangle her as he had done at the beginning.

"She's hiding something of mine and I need your help to get the information."

Kenna stared wide eyes at the mermaid, finally understanding what he was talking about.

"Was it a success?" Kenna gasped, her pearl wristband snapping and letting them all scattered about on the floor.

Melody watched them silently, determined not to speak and maintain her cover.
