Wheeling Gull Isle His ego almost got him killed

He almost went limp and played dead like a scared baby goat. Others usually didn't greet him like they could swallow him whole, mostly because he looked like a tank, and the young man was shyer than a baby badger. Despite her limp and size, the giant shrunk in her presence. They were all very assertive on this island, weren't they? Was he even going to survive the night with them?

Uhm - are you Strand? I'm looking for Strand. She did fit the description of a sandy female, but he had expected... more(?) from a leader. Maybe a physique that matched her assertive personality or a terrifying lover at her side.
