Sea Lion Shores you're a drifter, shape shifter

Any protest Aesop had for Caiaphas' deliberate dodging of the question was short lived as he realized her goal. She dropped her head, stalking towards a rather fat and sleek seal several meters from the water. She took a broad approach, swimming out innocuously while the paunchy slug slept.

And then, the slender thing pulled herself from the water wretched and sopping, a high shriek parting her muzzle as she tore towards the seal. The sea-lion, rocked awake by the gruesome noise, floundered in the sand as it regained its senses. Yet all it saw was a waiflike predator flying towards it -- with stupendous heaves the seal flopped away from the sea and towards Aesop blindly.

Unfortunately, Caiaphas was lying when she said they were not dangerous -- and as she saw her target turn towards Aesop she slowed down maliciously. If he happened to look her way she would make sure she looked as if she was assisting, but in truth, the lissome scullion had no intention in bringing the seal down today.
