one of those melodramatic fools

Davey is enjoying this, probably far too much. Teeth against the slippery, nasty skin, watching the beast as it thrashed and fought against the other creatures who'd come to help. That was definitely a cat, and someone he'd need to investigate further when given the chance. But right. The shark!

Snarling as he rips into the beast's fin, helping ("helping") drag it further up shore. It got heavier the shallower the water became, dragging the beast with great effort. So. Heavy. The shark still thrashed, though it didn't find purchase anywhere. As the adults bade them retreat, Davey decides it's in his best interest to actually follow the instruction. This time.

The big cat offers to take them home, and Davey is too tired from the whole ordeal to argue. He simply nods and pads over to the man, expecting to be picked up.
