There was so much to see. So much to smell. So much to taste!
Loko was aquiver with excitement. His tail whipped behind him as he sniffed and scuttled around the rocks, gnawing and licking and chewing all that passed his nose. This food-driven, toothy and tonguey behavior was becoming a cornerstone of his personality rather than prompted by teething aches. He had just got his mouth around a branch of driftwood and was darkening it with saliva and leaving little dents in its smooth surface when his brother nabbed his ear.
He was not so restrained and gentle as his brother, though it wasn't with meanness that he dropped his head and swung his teeth for Sobo's toes in retaliation. His playful bark and grinning said as much.
Loko was about to engage his brother fully when Erzulie called their attention elsewhere. He was a bit slower to cotton on to the presence of the starfish, and watched dumbly as Sobo touched the tidepool and did not enjoy it. It was Loko's turn to peer, and—
A faceful of water!
Loko went in for the snatch before his brother or sisters could make off with the colorful thing, but claimed only a snout and mouthful of saltwater as he missed the concept of depth and attempted to seize the water itself. He had plenty of faces to make after that. Salt licked from rocks or tasted from kelp was no preparation for the taste of the sea, nor for the sting of it up his nose.
He fixed Sobo a perplexed look, and then gaped in a silent laugh, slapping his paw down.
His tail started whipping again.
