Sandpiper had pinched the urchin and took off quicker than he could process what was happening. He stared after as she ran off cackling, his jaw hanging loose and his expression blank. Then he grinned and slowly shook his head. She was as much a thief as Smoke and he.

She had left with the gold but all the silver was still here, and it totalled in excess of what was beneath those spines. Feeling smug, and certain that she'd be back, Raptor turned to the pile and scoffed down a share of the periwinkles before he sucked back a mussel and then went for a gnaw on a kelp frond.

She'd be back. Smarting because she got a spine in the lip or frustrated because she did not know the way cool trick that he knew to getting the things open — and more.
