Dragoncrest Cliffs Anglerfish

She was certain she'd seen other branches like the one she'd used not long ago, absolutely certain. In her memory, they'd been scattered about the beach and she'd simply picked one without pausing to investigate the others because she knew she'd have more to go back for. It wasn't like they were going to get washed out to sea- but as soon as Suzu became competitive, she lost her focus. She looked here and there, frenzied; she wanted to win, and impress him. But the only things that seemed to catch her eye were sticks that were either too short, or didn't have enough branches. 

She muttered to herself as she fluttered from one disappointing branch to another, occasionally tossing a look to Swordfish, to keep track of his progress. She was about to go back to her own search when she saw the perfect branch- but it was much, much closer to Swordfish, perhaps even in his line of sight. He'd notice it soon if he hadn't already! 

"FISH!!" She screamed. "uh- LOOK- A SEA MONSTER!" She said, gesturing out to the ocean with one paw. 

A lame distraction- but it was the only thing she could come up with- before she dropped into a gallop and made a beeline for the stick.
