If Caiaphas had known the source of Nishu Inte's smug smile she would have whirled upon him in fury -- but as it was, she was incredibly busy, and she only afforded the scantest of scowls in response to the grin that plastered itself across his white muzzle.

The sand she flung abounded, and at last as a large heap appeared Caiaphas crowed in joy and dived into the hole she had dug herself -- emerging just moments later with the wringing form of a large sand crab. As the water filled in the hole several other crabs appeared, and with a motion of her head she flung her paws at them wildly, trying her best to fling them up onto the sand and away from the holes they had burrowed into. If Nishu Inte caught onto her subtle gesture, the two of them could quickly dispatch the entire colony and bring home quite the bountiful harvest.
