Sea Lion Shores feel the bern

thanks for joining!

the odd animal honked at the pair, startling Casmir backward several paces. "i don't get it," he muttered, circling 'round. it was at that moment he caught the distinct feeling of being watched, and glanced toward the scrub to see if he could spot the spy. but he saw nothing, despite the fingers of wariness that trailed along his spine. between the odd sea-dog and the sensation, the boy was thoroughly unnerved.

"i think someone is nearby," he murmured to his companion, pretending to be engrossed in the ocean creature once more. an impulse seized him; the boy whirled suddenly and lunged in long steps toward the sandy turf behind him, several feet from where the wolfess crouched. "hey!" he barked, hoping to scare the unseen watcher off.
