Stingray

Still prancing away from the stingray, he found himself closer to shore. His paws easily touched sand now, though most of his body was still submerged. The funny creature was circling the water in front of him. He couldn’t tell if it was ignoring him, surveying him, or threatening him. He didn’t even know what it was!

At the sound of a voice, he turned back to shore, and found Naiche standing there, peering across at him. “There’s some flappy thing in the water. It struck me and drew blood.” he explained, turning back to watch the creature. One of its sides breached surface as it turned sharply in the water. “Think we should… kill it? I know someone who likes trying seafood.”
