Gilded Bay Ganjang-gejang

she comes closer, bringing a sense of camaraderie to Iseul. "crabs," she tells her, "they walk sideways." iseul does her own little sidestep, further away and back again so she rejoins Manea. it would be enough of a picture she'd like to think as Iseul lacked the vocabulary to describe how else a crab looked.

However, when she thinks back to Heph, an idea comes to mind: "lots of legs." well, it wasn't such a description to paint a mental picture, although it was probably better than nothing. not too many creatures inhabited the world with multiple legs besides bugs in Iseul's understanding.

it was often rare to see a crab outside the sand during the day as they tended to be more active at night. however, iseul held hope that she and her new companion would be successful. "look here," she comes to say, drawing out a little v-shape in the sand with her paw, "crab inside, ahh-- dig out when see." in reality, the v's were nothing more than tracks and often led to success if the hunter was able to see them in the sand, which often was hard enough with the tide. the waves come to wipe away her drawing, and now iseul must be on the lookout for each time the water recedes.

"what name?" she comes to ask as she looks for the vs in the sand, soon casting her gaze towards the other pretty lady.
