Queen Anne's Revenge looked through the coral reefs carefully. Often, he took to pillaging through them because bits of shipwrecked cargo could be found nestled where larger creatures could not reach. The rays of the sun barely reached down this deep either, so the darkness could hide a lot.
It wasn't that he was looking for anything particular, rather that he was intrigued by whatever he could fine. The plain fact though was that the shinier it was, the better!
In the little cave he called home, he had a multitude of baubles from the top world on display. His prize possession though was a bracelet of fine gold that was small enough to fit on his legs. He never went anywhere without it, except in the coral. He used the shiny golden bracelet as a marker of where he'd entered the coral so that he could see how far he'd weaved through it when he surfaced.
It was always a welcome sight to see it there when he came out again. Only, it wasn't there this time.

Ronnie swished his way back through the coral, greedily eyeing the little golden bracelet he'd slipped over his hoof, just below his coral cuff. This had been a crime of opportunity; he'd spotted it on his way back from a shipwreck exploration, which had yielded nothing, and taken the bracelet for his prize, instead. More and more, the shipwrecks he found were empty. Soon, he'd have to start robbing the non-friendly neighbors. That was always a rush. Sometimes a good rush and sometimes a not-so-good rush, but no matter what kind of rush, most of his friends were ready to kill him by the time he came back to the Grail. Usually, he was grinning ear to ear with loot wrapped around his small body.
Scooting his way through the last of the coral of this particular little branch of the big reef, Ronnie headed for home, hoping that he wouldn't get stopped by the angry owner of this bracelet. Judging by the size, it was meant either for a seathi hoof or a big soquili's horn - and he sincerely hoped for the former. He had run into too many angry kelpi recently to want to repeat the experience any time soon.

Queen Anne's Revenge narrowed his eyes as he looked toward the horizon. At first, he saw nothing, but he knew that his bracelet had not walked off. Inanimate objects very reliably did not do that. The obvious conclusion was a thief, and no matter how small or big that thief he would find them.
Something moved oddly in the distance, a kind of wavering that blended in at first. Ah, yes. A seathi, someone his own size, with grey and greens that blended into the vegetation. With a scowl growing on his face, QAR took off swimming after the little pick-pocket, screaming a list of obscenities punctuated with words like "scallywag."

Sighing out a stream of bubbles, Ronnie turned to meet the familiar shouting. He'd heard it so often before that he could recognize the fact that it was a seathi, even though the voice came from behind him - his kind simply didn't have the lung volume to yell as hard as the big folks. The obscenities and pirate slang made his eyebrows raise, and he couldn't help it: he let out a laugh. He was usually the one who antagonized his victims, which wasn't exactly up to Grail code, but he could barely contain himself. "You missing something, squirt?" he called, lifting his foot to make the bracelet shine in the sunlight that fell though the water.
