Sea Lion Shores E, for empty

Chosovi would try again, of course. Her weak limbs were easy to ignore. She made a dive when she saw movement, and came up hacking. Nothing but saltwater was caught, and even to think that was a ridiculous stretch while it oozed out from between her teeth and spilled from her lips. She spat at the water, irate, even while coughing and snorting the water out of her nose. It was like a cold slap in the face. She took another step forward, feeling heavy, and wondered if she should just get out. Everything felt pretty futile and pointless. But of course she'd try again; she had to, for Saena. For her kids. Even if she was an unknown, she knew Saena, and she knew those cubs needed to be fed.
