[It is almost as if despite their skills and abilities, they were just idiot teens who are still learning about how the world, or worlds, work...

Floyd grinned away with how Jade put it.] Okayy~! [He's not quite sure what he's planning to do yet, but Floyd would just make it up as he went along. As normal.

He darts away from Jade, making sure to flip his tail a bit more, to create more ripples through the water and to get the Storm Hag's attention on him and off Jade. That does include some risks, getting a bit closer to try and get her to lash out towards him, but far enough away so he can get away as needed. And also to try and break line of sight to Jade. Out of sight out of mind, right?]

Heeeyyy~, electric eel, you really donno who you're messing with, do ya? Or maybe I should call you hag fish instead, that sounds more suitable for you. [Clearly part of Floyd's plan was to irritate her into distraction, while also darting away as her claws got too close to him. After all, an angry person tends to act rather than think, and that's what he needs right now. No thinking of why they split up, only acting to try and get rid of him.]

Or maybe a deflated blob fish!
