Malachi watched as Luce stayed silent. She was pissed at her little reaction and opened her mouth only to have whatever she was saying overshadowed by the yelling that came from above the slope. Loud, annoying, obnoxious screaming.
Luce turned her gaze towards the slope behind Malachi and watched as a body began their descent down the soft soil, their hands grasping onto the branches nearby. There was shifting of the pebbles beside her.

Ozzy gave her a silent look, sliding back into the water with Ava in tow.

“See you soon, Lucey!” Ava managed to add before there was nothing but blue waves.

Malachi crossed her arms, inspecting Luce one last time.

“Well. Luce. We already ate, so this one's all yours.”

“Uh huh...” Wasn’t she just secretly bashing her in front of her friends?

Another awkward silence and Malachi finally leaves. Of course everyone ate before her. Why wouldn’t they share a meal? Luce shimmied close to the water behind her, half in the shallows and half above water. Tail hidden. She tried to ignore the anger bubbling inside her. Just like if a human was sitting and playing around in the water near the shore.

It’s always nice to scare an unsuspecting meal. Maybe that will cheer her up! Boredness and hungry-ness solved!
