Chapter Text
Shipwrecks weren't very uncommon occurrences, but Feferi was delighted to see one every time. Not only did it give her more more defenseless lusii to hunt, but it provided a perfect, convenient excuse to invite Aradia over, if the wreck was close enough to shore.
Today's ship, as circumstances conspired, was only a little out of the way from one of Aradia's favorite FLARP locations. She could risk being slightly late to a campaign for a new ruin site, right? Land-dwellers weren't too fond of the water even at the best of times, when it was off-season for sea beasts to be hunting unsuspecting troll prey. But it wasn't as if they could ever be a match for the future Empress, and Aradia was always charmed when Feferi was able to tame the more passive creatures and coax them closer to touch, or spear the more aggressive creatures and haul the bodies up to eat.
Since the beasts that were so deadly to any other land troll were only minor inconveniences to the archaeologist and the princess, they could focus on more important things instead. Like how to find the best hiding places for secret treasures, how to piece together storm-broken skeletons. How amazing Aradia looked in a white swimsuit, how her hair billowed out underwater like clouds, how Feferi could never tire of running her fingers and tentacles through while the other girl laughed in great bubbles.
