Wheeling Gull Isle i'm growing and it hurts

The distance between them allowed just enough time for Droman to find his hiding spot beneath the water's surface. While Maegi struggled to catch up, he drifted out into the water and submerged himself up to his nostrils. At this depth, it was all that he could do to keep his hindlegs planted in the shifting sand; his forelegs were too busy working at keeping him afloat to be of much use.

Although Dro had been looking forward to frightening his playmate, he began to run out of energy just as she made her approach. He took what was left and walked his way closer to shore, still slightly below the waves. I bet you can't catch me over here! he laughed, shaking his behind playfully as he strutted through the knee-high water.
