A’tay rested somewhere between amused and worried that he had been right about Kalea’s attention span. He hadn’t meant that they had to sit in silence but it seemed like she was determined to test herself but it didn’t last long and she started to wander. He wasn’t too worried—it wasn’t like she was a child and Xyxyth was watching her antics with amusement and would help if anything did go astray.
But when he looked up again, he saw Kalea poking at something in the tide pool. Was that really a good idea? It seemed so as she smiled and brought something out. A’tay suppressed a grin and went back to working on the chess piece since she seemed intent on getting Xyxyth’s opinion on her find. As long as it wasn’t poisonous or didn’t suddenly attack her somehow, there was nothing to worry about.
Xyxyth eyed the blob that was apparently a creature. He’d never seen anything like it before! It’s very amazing!, he agreed and leaned in a little closer to sniff at it when it was presented as possible food. It was very tiny and wouldn’t do much for him but he wasn’t sure he liked the smell of it anyway and declined the offering. Good bye, Stew! It was nice to meet you! Xyxyth called out when Kalea was suddenly dashing away to return the creature to its home. She was full of energy but very polite and now he saw how kind she was as well.
He wandered over to join her, careful not to block her light or to get too close. He suspected his larger size might scare everything away if they were all as small and squishy as Stew was. He stood a bit back and craned his neck so he could peek inside. He’d never paid these pools any notice before and now he was sad since they held mysterious beings.
