Pouncing Piping Plovers

With the bird gone Kanja's mouth was full of feathers and sand - a mixture she had been content to deal with for the sake of the bird. Now that those were the only things rolling around in there she wanted them gone. They tasted bad and were drying her mouth out...but she didn't want to retch and spit in front of this charming stranger.
Gingerly Kanja closed her mouth all the way. The crunch of sand and feathers convinced her to abandon whatever reservations she had about saving face in front of this woman. Casually she leaned down and swiped her tongue across her foreleg in the hopes of scraping off the rest of the sand. She then straightened and grimaced at the woman before grinning and answering her question. "The name's Kanja. What's yours, stranger?" Her words were a little brusque, but they weren't said unkindly. In Kanja's mind introductions were necessary, but something to be gotten out of the way quickly. They stood between the speakers and a much more interesting topic.
Speaking of interesting. Kanja's head jerked to the side as she stared over the little red woman's shoulder. Something had just slunk out of the water and she had no idea what it was. "What the hell is that?" Her gaze briefly darted to the red woman before slipping back to the creature. It looked like some kind of goat, but clutched in its jaws was a large fish and as far as Kanja knew, goats did not eat fish. The creature's catch was by no means the weirdest thing about it. Spines, like that of some kind of lizard, jutted through its thick fur and dotted its spine from the back of its neck to the tip of its unnaturally long, lizard-like tail. Honestly it looked like the unholy offspring of a goat and a komodo dragon.
Kanja's gaze darted to the woman again. This time she grinned devilishly, her devious intentions becoming clear as she began to walk towards the mutant goat. She didn't know what it was and she was determined to find out. "Whatever it is, that's a nice looking fish its got." She winked playfully at the stranger. "Maybe it'll share."
