Despite the pout on her features, her mother convinced her it would be good for her to go play on the beach, while she watched for any danger. Suzu followed at her mother’s heels through the tunnel, but hesitated when the daylight spilled into the end of it. Her mother looked over her shoulder, nodded, and then disappeared into the light. Suzu hated being left on her own- so, dawdling, she followed.
She kept to her mother’s flank as she strode down the beach. Her gaze was fixed upon two others in the distance. It wasn’t her siblings, but two boys who looked a little bit older than her. Chacal chose to rest in the shade of the cliffs, but urged Suzu to go and see if she could play with the boys.
She felt mortified.
She had to walk out in the open, across the sand, and approach two older boys? Her expression was read by her mother, who tried to soothe her child with a lick to her forehead. She nudged the girl in the right direction and assured her that no harm would come to her. She’d be watching.
So Suzu began to move toward the boys, sticking to driftwood and piles of kelp, so she might not be quite as obvious. When she looked for her mother, she saw her occasionally- her dark blended in well with the shadows, but the flash of her eyes was there. She continued sneaking her way toward the boys until she frightened herself, stepping in a tide pool. She yelped and hopped away, but to her dread, something long, dark and wet was wrapped around her paw.
She screamed, horrified. Then, when she realized that it was just seaweed, she slipped it off her foot, and tried as hard as she could to simply sink into the ground, hoping the boys hadn’t seen her total meltdown.
