"Can't believe I'm related to her," Nati said, ears laying flat against her skull in irritation. Leo was making a fantastic racket, and finally emerged spluttering and coughing from the water. She walked woodenly onto shore, her expression traumatized.
"Leo?" Fiore asked timidly.
Leonora blinked, then shook herself. Water sprayed all over the place.
"That. Was. AWESOME."
Nati ********' braindamaged little runt."
"Did you SEE? It, it was on my face, and then, then I was all like AHH FACEMELT, but then it was like shlllrk and it just melted off my face, but not like facemelt, it just kinda went and dissolved and I never wanna do that again ever."
Fiore sighed with relief, and resumed digging around for seashells.
"She fine. Dun worry."

Sy blinked.
"Oh! Otay." And he joined Fio inhis search, digging up a little blue shell that spit out a little brown tongue.
"Fo! Parr-wink'l make face at me!"
Jesse snorted.
"Pour some vodka on it. It stops the burning. Tastes pretty good too."

Fiore gasped. How rude!
"Not ver' nice," he scolded. "Mean parr-win..wih...wibble. Parr-wibble."
Leo hadn't heard the advice, seeing as she'd already dived back into the water in search of more jellyfish - or perhaps to wash the remains of the first one out of her hair. Nati sighed and rolled her eyes in an all-knowing older sisterly sort of way.
"Don't bother, she likes getting hurt. She thinks it means street cred or something," she said boredly. "Probably 'cause I come home beat up all the time."
She snorted derisively.
"Eh, monkey see, monkey emulate and get its paw chopped off for stupid tourists."

Sy frowned at the little tail, wiggling his finger...and one of its tentacles went back in! Oh my! This was a strange shell-creature!
"Woooow."
Jesse just laughed, shaking his head. He finished his booze and put the bottle in the sand.
"I'm just glad Sy isn't choppin' his own fingers off."

"Slimy," Fiore said, wrinkling his nose. "Ick."
"Just you wait," Nati said dryly. "He'll be grown up and pulling stupid stunts like skateboarding off the roof in no time. What's a lost finger when you have all those convenient bones to break in your body?"

"Nuh-uh!" Sy said heatedly, defending the little creature, "...well...otay. But keep oshun clean!" That was what Dada said, right? They eat the icky green stuff?

Fiore frowned, looking at the little creature.
"O-zan bigger," he said doubtfully. "How s'posed t'keep clean?"
Really. What a pointless little creature. Sure, Sy liked it and that was all well and good, but come on. It was a little brown turdy-creature. Fio would have bet good money - well, alright, some animal crackers and an apple juice - that this parr-wibble or whatever it was couldn't so much as to an interesting trick.
"Make it ro' over, p'ease," he said politely.

Sy looked down at the little thing and put it in his palm. It rolled back into its shell and he flicked it across his hand.
"There. Ro'."

Fiore cheered and actually started clapping.
"Yaaaaaaay!"
Oh yes. Very easily amused, Fiore was.

Sy then pointed at the little upturned thing.
"'tay!"
And it didn't move.
"Good parr-winkl!"

Utterly amazing. Incredible, even. Fiore had never seen such a good performer, and he watched television.
"Speak!" he bubbled, wanting a turn. Logically there was no response. "Umm...p'ease?"
Silence.
"Heck."

After a moment, though, the periwinkle emerged from its shell and rolled over, blowing tiny bubbles in the little pool of water in Sy's palm.
"...is that count?"

Fiore sighed. And he'd been so certain the creature would have had such a lovely singing voice.
"Better'n noofin'," he said regretfully. "...hee hee. Bubbly."
