Ocean's Breath Plateau the snack that smiles back

someone appeared, but sirmiq paid him no mind. the boy's focus was wholly to that of the strange little creature. it walked weird. why did it walk weird? he raised a paw and gave a smack to the top of the crab's dome, narrowly avoiding the pinch of claws. 

his stomach gave a grumble as the big man booped the crab back towards him. baby blues gave an expectant look to the adult before falling back towards his poor choice of prey. he smacked the crab once more, but the creature just kept on going. how did he make it stop?

instinct told him to grab it and give it a shake, and so that's exactly what he attempted to do. he got about as far as lowering his nose before the little crab latched on and gave a good squeeze. sirmiq retaliated with a yelp and a furious shake of his noggin. when that did not result in the release of pain, the boy took off to as fast of a run as he could manage whilst likely giving himself whiplash in the process.
