Naiche had paused a short distance away from the creature, wondering how close it would allow him to get without reacting. His best judge was comparing the distance it was tolerating Mort being near it. Where was he suppose to bite flappy thing anyway if he needed too? There was no actual neck to tell between head to body, it was just kind of all in one. It was a body and a tail. While he was working on this he saw a few things at once, Mort moved slightly, the stingray reacted and then Mort was calling him to action.
Where to bite it? Naiche made a leap, paws landing near the odd creature, having to bet on its attention being enough on Mort to have just those few necessary seconds to get it. Naiche’s head ducked under the water, eyes instinctively squeezing shut, Fortunately they were in shallows so even as the eyes closed his teeth found the things head, or at least the raised portion where the eyes were. Jerking his head up out of the water, digging his teeth in hard and giving it a firm shake. It’s tail hit the side of his neck once, his dense fur coat made sure it was just a scratch. Luckily for Naiche its skin wasn’t all that thick so it seemed to die pretty easily after that one strike “Got it!” A moment of victory for them as he spoke a bit muted with the thing still in his mouth.
Naiche glanced back in the water, prize still in his mouth to see if there were any more of them. He didn’t see any, but then again this thing was so flat it might hide easily. “Hope whoever it is likes it. It’s got a funny scent,” considering Naiche hadn’t pulled any fish or other creatures out of the beach till now, a species with all that salt water on it held next to his nose was bound to smell different.
