Sensing a desire, Ikeya made his way to the shore. He drifted to the surface and watched the peg for a moment. When the second tear hit the water, he splashed lightly to catch his attention. "Why are you so distressed?"

"We trying to help the featherbrained jerks save their eggs, when some nut case attacked us, saying he was going to use the egg we had saved in a trash sculpture. So Sophie told me to defend the egg, and threw a rock at his head. We saved the egg, but she's hurt pretty badly."
