one of those melodramatic fools

Tomfoolery, ratfuckery, and whatever else they were getting into-- it's really par for the course. Davey dragging Tide out into the wild blue yonder to find something to get themselves into. Leading his brother right into danger is probably the most effective use of his time, he's pretty sure. How else are they going to know how to deal with danger, right?

"Don't be such a bitch," he shoots at the smaller boy, scowling and splashing in the shallow water. Sure, the weather had been weird, and it was probably making the predators act weird too. Finally losing his patience, Davey stomps back to the shore and gives his brother an almighty shove. "Sink or swim, baitboy."
