Nilam
There is little that could stop a kelpie in the waters; but unfortunately her teaching of the shark-toothed girl meant the guy on the shore had a warning. As clumsy as he may be, Glyndwyr would never be able to catch this colt, since she lacks the fishtail that would lend her the much-needed speed. She'd have half a heart to make a point of killing the child, but since it's a girl, and since it's at least, you know, a carnivore, she leaves her be. She is almost a kelpie, and Nilam doesn't feel like correcting nature's flaws within her.
Besides, she has bigger fish to fry.
The fish she is trying to catch, is problematic. Another thing coming, he'd said, right before dropping in the water, but when she slashes her tail to catch up with him, which should have brought her to him in half a heartbeat, he employs a trick of his own - a rather familiar one.
Nilam has never met anyone else who disrupted time, but the ability resonates within her, and she counters it without thinking; speeds up her own time as a reaction to his slowing her down. Her daughter gets trapped in the time bubble he'd created, but the split-second recognition changes the mother's intent - curiously, the child almost forgotten, she wraps her mermaid-like body over and under the young male's body, though she does not avoid a kick to her tail (thankfully it slides off, mostly, as water on scales). And yet, instead of biting, she uses her every charm and hypnotizing ability to soothe him. "There, there. I'm no threat - the girl was over-eager, but she's far away now, trapped in time by you." Nothing about the first part is true - it had been Nilam herself who'd intended to eat him - but lies come so easily when tactile hypnosis is used.
She leaves him, hopefully subdued or dazed. She swims away from him a bit and turns with a suddenly inviting wink. "Wanna do that again?" After all, she could make it happen - they could make it happen - and the mother, in fact, has no problem going with him instead of nursing a child that's only half-kelpie.
