The shrimp read bedtime stories in the seabeds

As she listens to Luke rant at the fish, she could feel the fear and confusion of the little lives in her hands. She wanted to do something, but it was kind of fun to hear the boys' determination, wanting to find the merman and mermaids. She envied him in a way, as she didn't have that much determination without evidence or a reason. After he was done interrogating them, she whispered a sorry to them and lowered the ball of water as they talked to her in her head. Setting them free, she looking back at Luke. "They will rely the message if they see any, they said." She nods, not wanting to drop his spirits.

Once again, Luke was going on one of his rants. As Claire observed the man, looking up and down him, she wondered as to why he was saying such crazy things, yet again. She nodded weakly to his statements, unsure of how to exactly reply. "Oh yeah of course." She said, accepting his thank you for helping him connect to the fishes. It seemed that be always had a of to say about on subject. saying words that have no meaning to her or anyone else, make him unique.

Claire watched as he sat in the sand. She smiled at him, taking a few steps to the shore, but ultimately sitting a little over the ankle deep of water. "Waiting? You plan to wait until they come back?" Though Claire admired his determination, she had little faith that her aquatic friends would come back with any info, if at all. She felt a bit back for Luke, as she didn't want him waiting out here, as she had given him false hope. "They did not give me a time frame, but I guess I could just give them a warning if they take too long?" Then again, it seemed that the fish were not exactly ecstatic to be up close with someone that looked like they wanted to fry and eat them. She would either have to fake up what the fishes said, leave him, or wait. It all depended on what mood she was in.

"I guess you're right." His words resonated with her, because that was really all that life was. Right now, they were waiting for fish that Claire knew were not going to come back anytime soon. She may not know what for sure, but she did just scare many little fishes into thinking that this man needed to see whatever he desired to. If he was getting his way, they would stay here for days on end, most likely dying here just because he was determined. "Knowing how much free time fishes have, it may be a while, maybe even a few days." She said to Luke, hoping he would understand better. "We don't want to die waiting for them, right?" She bit her lip as she spoke, knowing that his logic would most likely overrule a regular person's morals.

Luke had already baffled her with his weird sense of logic. It was a refreshing thing for her to be around. As she was about to tell him to go home, as she would keep him updated on the fishes, she sensed something in the water. As she turned her sugar towards the water, something dark was coming towards them. Unsure of what it was, she sent out a 'who is it' to the nearby animals, but nothing replied. Claire bit her lip as she looked over at Luke. "Maybe you got your wish." She said as she turned her attention back to the water. She wasn't able to make out what it was, but it was different from anything she had sensed before, as different animals usually felt different.

It seemed that no, her massive threats to his life had not sparked some type of human urge to not say that he wasn't going to die on the beach. Maybe he had planned it all out in his mind, but he didn't want to tell Claire. Perhaps, he had a master plan to slip away and leave here there, without her noticing. It wouldn't be like her to not feel a movement right behind her. There were just so many choices, but so little time to decide. As Claire moved even closer to Luke, she widened her eyes at the mass in the water. What was it? Some shipwreck floating up from the disruption Claire had caused? Most likely not. Maybe some sea monster that was actually a student? They would most likely introduce themselves if they didn't want to get hurt. As she blinked at the water, she glanced at Luke, than at the liquid that was in front of them.

As the black mass reached the shallower water, it stopped, as if it knew that it would be expose if it went any further up out of the water. It was kind of fascinating, that something was as smart as it was being. She was now second guessing if it was a shapeshifter or not. As Claire closed her eyes, she breathed in and out to see if she could sense if it was an animal or not. Nothing. "I don't know what it is." She said to Luke in a slightly worried tone.
