Azhara, ducking between a leaping frog and an incoming tongue, yelled, "His art was trying to suck a woman's dignity! Don't joke, it's up to a woman who she wants to get licked by. We all want sir Kai to lick us. Not some ugly, stinky frog."
"Hey, stop that. We are fighting." Then he said to the frog, "They are all under my protection!" Kai growled.
Meanwhile, another frog was trying to sneak up on Naaro. But he failed.
Because the second his slimy foot touched the ground near her, Sha jabbed a dagger right into his butt cheek. The frog leapt a few feet into the air, screamed, spun in a circle, and fainted mid-flop.
Sha muttered, "These guys drop faster than spoiled cucumbers."
A frog managed to get close to Akayoroi, tongue outstretched, eyes wild. "I claim you in the name of the Marsh!"
Akayoroi punched him so hard the impact echoed like thunder.
"You will not claim anything," she hissed.
