Dragoncrest Cliffs Anglerfish

It seemed that their trap had not rewarded them, yet. Suzu said that they needed to get more branches like the one she’d stuck into the sand. The red-tailed boy felt his stomach squeeze in protest. Disappointment pushed his pangs of hunger further. Swordfish didn’t want the girl to think that he was saddened by their unfinished work. Still, she caught on to his interest in the food.

Well, uh- how ‘bout we stick some branches in there. Then when the work’s done, we can get somethin’ to eat? Like a reward.

Swordfish smiled lazily at her. There was good motivation in rewarding him after the work had been completed. If they filled his belly with treats from the tidepools, he would be more inclined to find a cozy napping spot than he would be to finish the trap.

Where’d ya find that one, anyhow? Looks like a claw. The boy snickered.
