Making Sea Shells by the Seashore

This was all a bit disgusting to him. Just a bit though.. not enough to make him withdraw his participation entirely. Catching food in puddles, digging for these shelled creatures in the mud.. it wasn't the sort of thing he had in mind when he was hungry. He'd much rather go scrounge up a couple rodents any day. But he wouldn't complain, because as he'd told her, he didn't have anywhere else to be. Not a single place in the world. The way Esarosa spoke made this all seem very obvious. A slight frown touched his lips at her laughter, though he'd stay quiet for a long moment. "Oh," he'd breath softly, falling quickly silent again. "It's fine. This is just new to me." And.. yes.. weird. His brows furrowed, features tightening in focus as he watched the clams as she explained them. They just looked like rocks. He couldn't spot a mouth - though they had a crack down the middle that looked promising - and they didn't look capable of movement at all. Definitely not quick enough movement to make them difficult prey to hunt, but what did he know? His frown grew a bit deeper as she started to demonstrate. She began to dig into the mud and water, sending it splashing behind her, and he would back away slightly to not get messy. But.. she invited him to try. Steel knew his parents would've wanted him to participate, even if just slightly. Anything more than muttering a few words and listening to her. They probably wouldn't have anticipated the mud, though. "I guess I'll try," he sighed, facing the pool, watching the dirt as it began to settle, water and mud quickly separating into two again. With that, he'd begin to slip one paw, and then both, into the mud and begin digging. He felt the cool dirt and water splashing against his chest and face, but he continued going until he felt his paws collide with a shell. With that, he'd thrust his muzzle into the swampy puddle as he grasped for it, coming up with a satisfied gasp and not just one, but two clams. He nearly smiled as he dropped them at his paws, eyeing them as though they might try to wriggle away. |
