“Look, Xyxyth!” Kalea said, turning to face the dragon that had come up behind her, grinning widely as she held out a sea urchin. She had no idea what it was, but it was spikey and wiggly and she loved it just like she loved Stew the Slug. She held the urchin out towards Xyxyth, cradling it carefully in both hands. It waved its pointy points, and she smiled mischievously. “You can eat these ones,” she said, and gave the urchin a sharp tap, breaking the shell.
Pulling it apart, she showed Xyxyth the inside, which didn’t look appealing at all. “I broke the first one by accident, and got it on my fingers,” She explained, carefully cleaning out the gunky bits so only the good stuff was left. “It tastes sweet, and a little salty, and some other tastes I don’t know,” she said. She put some of the shellfish in her mouth, and then offered Xyxyth the rest, raising her eyebrows at him and grinning. “Want to try it?”
Kalea knew, honestly, that it probably wasn’t a smart idea to go sticking strange sea creatures into her mouth, and she mostly didn’t! She’d tried some seaweed, that was kind of fun to eat, and some of the little fishies… but she hadn’t tried anything like Stew, who looked so… bright and for some reason that made her wary of eating him. “Its not poisonous or anything,” she promised Xyxyth. “I’ve eaten lots of them!” She beamed, licking a finger.
