wisdom of the crocodiles

Not a talker huh? Well, she didn't mind a challenge, but she preferred to have fewer hostile distractions to keep her busy if she was going to try and charm her way into someone's good graces. She eyed off the patch of water towards the middle of the island, wondering if the crocodiles would mind her taking a closer look? Some were small, some of the bigger ones had birds picking scraps out from between their teeth, their jaws opened wide. Well, the avians had bigger balls than she did and she wasn't afraid to admit it.

She tried to keep her appearance casual as she strolled on by, the first kept its eyes closed, all good, the second let loose a low rumbling growl that was answered by one in the water, the trembling of it's neck fat causing the water to splash and ripple in response. The water erupted as the second crocs challenge was answered by one that had been floating nearby, the pop of jaws clamping shut as the two sparred enough to send her strolling rather quickly back to her unwilling companion. Even here, the water seemed to drop right off. She spotted drag marks of seals, though they must all be out hunting at the moment.

Her companion seemed distracted by something in the water and she sighed as she spotted what he had. “Well fuck eh, looks like we're stuck til th' seals come 'ome.”If in fact this was their home, and not just some forsaken spit of land they jumped on to dodge the sharks.
