Yellow eyes peered out at her from the parted reeds, and the faintest of ripples disturbed the water as the kappa sank lower into the water.

Mmmmm....

The lecherous little thing was only disappointed that the woman in the water wasn't skinny dipping...

"Mmm. A lovely lady in a lovely lake," his croaking voice uttered loud enough for her to hear.

He slipped through the water silently gripping a small stand of tree roots that grew over the bank, to avoid her getting a bead on his location.

"Don't you know it's not safe here anymore?" he asked.

It didn't sound like a threat though, and if anything it came across somewhat sorrowful. He used to come here and watch the swimmers in the lake all the time, but since the kappa had grown more aggressive, no one came anymore. Perhaps this was why he chose to speak to her, when he might have otherwise lingered in the reeds watching her without her knowing he was there.
