Sequoia Coast Quick enough

"That makes sense," Koda remarked. What would you call a star shaped creature living by the sea? A sea star. Genius. It was a pretty thing to look at, but it wasn't very interesting to watch. The thing could barely move. It had no eyes or mouth, how could it see where it was going or feed itself? It wouldn't even make a good snack itself, being covered in little spikes from end to end. What a boring, pointless animal.

Koda glanced at his young friend, noticing the wonder in the boy's eyes as he gazed into the pool. The enthusiasm in his voice as he told Koda about the sea star seemed to spill over into his entire body. If the pup wagged his tail any harder, he might lose his balance and fall in. Koda had been a pup not too long ago, but he had forgotten how even simple things used to excite and inspire him. He wished he could feel like Gunnar again, just excited to be alive and in awe of the world.

Maybe Gunnar's energy was starting to rub off on Koda, for he suddenly found himself in a playful mood. He decided to pull a prank on his little friend, nothing that would hurt the little guy, but something he'd always loved pulling on his siblings growing up.

Koda pretended to see another unknown creature in the water. "How about that one?" He questioned, using his paw as if to point out something lurking in a dark corner of the pool.
