Sandpiper caught on to his line of thinking and procured a bit of driftwood for the task. He did not notice that she selected a better half for herself — sometimes he just missed nuances and details and besides, Raptor was not known for his finesse. Further to that he clamped on one end of his stick and dragged it with a cocked head toward the critter, leaving a squiggly trail in the sand behind him.
He stood back as Sandpiper made her attempt. She did not have much success, springing back after a small poke and winding around Raptor's back side to encourage him to go. Raptor snorted and sniggered, heh!, and shook his head. He swaggered forward and made an awkward swing. Thwunk! The wood bounded off the shell and the stony thing hardly seemed to notice the strike.
That had not been his plan. He grinned around the driftwood over his shoulder at Sandpiper. Perhaps she could read on his face that he just had to hit it for the shits 'n giggles. Raptor adjusted his grip then and shoved the stick under the crab. It took a bit of fiddling and wrenching before he managed to manipulate the wood just right and flip the critter over.
Raptor dropped the stick. "Hah! Look!" He guffawed. "It has nicer legs than you!"
