The turtle didn't seem to mind Ana's invasive inspection. Simeon, on the other hand, expressed his surprise — and the girl realized belatedly that she had done something odd. Something strange. She clicked uncertainly, but her brother didn't seem mad at her, and so after a moment she relaxed.

But the turtle had tasted kind of funny. Ana made a face and stuck her tongue out, wiping at it with one paw. That didn't help very much. So she took a mouthful of sea-water, forgetting for a second how salty and inedible it truly was. That was worse! Ana immediately spat the mouthful and began to cough, spraying the ocean water all over Simeon in the process. Yeah, that's what you get for being a loving brother, Simeon: baby spit.
