OOC:Big Water refers to Sea Lion Shores. Also, this post is a continuation of my old post, titled "Big Water". If people respond to it, I'll try and make changes to this one to reflect the responses in the old one.
IC: Macawi had had enough fun at Big Water for now. She was now soaking wet, and sand stuck to her fur, clumping it together and making it stick up in random places. She felt extremely uncomfortable, and to top it all off, her stomach had begun to complain at her.
Eyeing one of the giant blubbery creatures, she decided against trying to kill one to eat. It was a lot bigger than she was, and it had all of its friends there as back-up. She looked around, seeing if perhaps there were other things to eat near the shore. But there was nothing. A few loud, obnoxious white-and-grey birds flew around her in the sky, squawking and causing a cacophony that hurt her ears.
Laying them flat on her head to try and blot out the noise, she began making her way down the shoreline, towards a far-off river that she had spotted. As she walked, she enjoyed the breeze and the smell of salt-water. The spray from Big Water left droplets on the fur of her face. She shook them off.
Soon she had reached the river, which branched off into four smaller inlets. She padded over to one of them and peered down into the water. She bent her head, took a drink, and then watched intently for any fish or river creatures to catch. Soon enough, she saw a little fish swimming upstream, seemingly oblivious to Macawi. With a grin, she snapped up the fish in her jaws and swallowed it whole. Though she was no good at hunting larger prey, smaller animals were her specialty, and she had just enough speed to catch any small creature she wanted.
And there she sat, watching for more fish, hoping for a good meal.
