Having rushed ahead, Brie looked back when Will called out to her, seeing him trying to catch up. [color=00aeef]"Oh, sorry!"[/color] She smiled, slowing down in order to match her pace to his. She still felt like she'd been hit in the side of the head with a mallet but was trying to ignore it the best she could. [color=00aeef]"Those ogres just stunk so much."[/color] Pulling a face of disgust as they strolled into the bathhouse, she instantly spotted the pool in the middle of the room. It looked amazing. So warm and bubbly and relaxing. Probably not something she should go in whilst they were in a life-threatening situation but surely a quick dip wouldn't harm anyone...

About to turn back to Will and suggest exactly this, Brie was rudely interrupted when yet another TV screen flickered into life, Neros face popping into view once more. [color=00aeef]"Urgh, him? Again? God he's such a douchebag."[/color] Pouting, Bries eyes darted over the messy lines of electricity that she could see were feeding the television. Maybe she should try to blow the whole system this time. It really was annoying to have to see his stupid dumb face everywhere they went. Before she could do any such thing however, her attention was distracted by several pairs of eyes peeping out of the water. She recognised them instantly (handily from her book on leftovers that she'd been gifted for Christmas). [i]Swampjaws.[/i] And not just one - but seven!

Instead of running away or attacking them, Brie actually [i]squeaked[/i], her green eyes widening. [color=00aeef]"Oh. my. god!"[/color] She blurted out excitedly. She'd seen the odd one near the sewers in Brookside but never this many! Maybe Nero wasn't such a bad guy after all. Well he was, but it was still kinda cool to get to see swampjaws up close.
[color=00aeef]"I love swampjaws! They're SO cute! I wonder if they'll let me pet one of them, oh I bet they will—fucking hell!"[/color] Cut short, her enthusiasm rapidly faded when the pack lunged at them, Brie yanking back her outstretched arm. Any slower and she would have been down a hand, one of their jaws snapping shut only millimetres away from where her fingers had just been.

[color=00aeef]"Why are they attacking us?! That's not fair!"[/color] Brie exclaimed as she backed away. Unfortunately, they were extremely agile and she barely had time to react before another had charged towards her. In what was more instinct than anything, she raised a hand at the offending creature, sending a bolt of electricity squarely at its nose. Stunned, the swampjaw drew back, although it really seemed more irritated than particularly hurt. 

[color=00aeef]"Bad swampjaw, bad!"[/color] Pointing a finger sternly at it, Brie acted like she was simply telling Dog off for chewing yet another of her shoes, rather than facing a creature that would be more than happy to eat her for breakfast. She really didn't want to hurt them but she also really liked having all four of her limbs. [color=00aeef]"What should we do?"[/color] Stepping closer to Will, Brie looked up at him, hoping he would have some sort of plan. She could probably try shock them all at once (thank god this place seemed to have an abundance of electricity) but she didn't want to harm him in the process. 

And they were just SO cute.
