Lillith carefully avoided the creature and moved around it. Based on its movements, it was feeling frisky rather than annoyed. She got behind Lock, close enough to see him petting the tentacle wrapped around his leg, and figured her boyfriend was distracted enough not to see her coming.

The vampire used her gift of grace to pop up for a breath without disturbing the surface water enough for him to notice, then ducked back down under. Moving slowly enough to not be detected made catching his tail difficult, but she still managed to give it a good bite. She sank below again as quickly as she could.
