Coconut Grove rebuild, renew

With a single paw, he roughly turned the coconut over, brows furrowed in confusion. It smelt...weird. He nosed it before quickly retreating and snorting as it suddenly split in two, revealing a white inside (though patches of rot were evident in places). The man made to inspect it again before a distant but high-pitched yowl broke over the sound of the ocean waves.

Gristle looked up to where it sounded from, abandoning the strange fruit in favour of whatever had made that noise. It almost sounded like a coyote, and his mouth watered at the thought of tearing into fresh meat. He picked up at a swift lope, taking only a few minutes to find her.

He had heard the girl's cackles and the pained shrieks of the bird and followed them until he spotted a brown figure lying on the beach, devouring her freshly caught meal. He was disappointed she was a fair size larger than a simple coyote, but she still had a decent-sized snack there. The brute licked his lips before approaching, hackles and tail raised, hoping to simply scare the stranger off before he had to waste any energy on getting the meal from her.
