Something on water again - air-weed? Another one? Closer, just a little. Trap? No trap before. But trap? Careful, careful, closer - take! Away, swim away fast, two air-weeds now!
So busy in the air - four arms everywhere! Noise, chaos, swimming back and forth, shouting strange noises. And air weed - so different to lake weed - beautiful to look and see. Holding gentle, gentle - sharp pricks on stem. Gentle. Should go back now - hide air weed and join the shoal. But...
