[She gives him a wave as he walks away, and she goes back to looking over the nests, already starting to draw a line in the sand for where their little shelled path is going to go while she waits for him to return.]
no subject
By the time he returns, he'll have quite a number that he's collected in the hem of his shirt along with two sturdy pieces of driftwood tucked under his arm.]
no subject
More than I thought.
[She pushes herself to her feet and brushes off the sand to go to him and immediately reaches for a shell.]
And surprisingly pretty, too.
no subject
[He lets her take one before he starts to set them all down, shaking the sand off his shirt.]
But I thought you might like some to keep. There were a few I had never seen before.
[He holds up a particularly spiny conch shell that is of different colors and seems to shimmer in the light.]
no subject
So thoughtful. I'll need to find somewhere to display them and show them off to everyone.
[Along with her collection of other pretty things they've gathered in their time together.]
no subject
[He'll look at the lines she drew before he grabs one of the "driftwood shovels." He chose pieces that had a flatter end and had already broken off parts to shape it more to make it easier for them to use.]
So just follow this line?
no subject
[She motions to some of the others on the way to the beach, some being tended to and others remaining empty.]
We could probably work our way through them. Get some of the other turtles in there, if you think we can handle it.
no subject
[He nods in agreement as he surveys the area, as if plotting out his route.]
It would be easier especially since they are in the way, anyway. We'll just try to make to wider to accommodate the number.
no subject
How many do you think we'll end up seeing?
no subject
no subject
And just as she's in the middle of digging in the sand by dragging the wood through it, she sees a little wriggle of movement in the corner of her eye.]
Wait, did you see that?
[Except when she looks back at the nest, nothing is happening.]
no subject
In the middle of digging a wide path on his side, he looks up and over at her question.]
Hm?
[...But there's nothing that he can see.
Instead, from Tifa's point she'll be able to see another wriggle. On another nest.]
no subject
Not again...
[And out pops a little head from the sand, and its mouth yawns wiiiide open.]
Eustace!
no subject
Over here, too.
[The other nest has two popping out...and of course, the nest they picked out is still quiet as a mouse.]
Should we keep trying or just let it go?
no subject
[She's already swerving around to start digging in that direction.]
Then we can't say that we didn't. I'll take care of these ones for now while you finish up there. Think we've got a little bit of time before they start moving.
no subject
I'll try to get through quick, but shout if you need help.
[With that, he immediately digs deep and hard into the sand, scooping and scraping as much as he can from the original nest down towards the closest point he can branch off near Tifa. As he works he continues to glance at the nest, hoping there won't be movement until he gets closer to Tifa.
Fortunately for Tifa, the turtles are having some difficulty getting out as they smack against each other while trying to dig out of the sand. So she has some more time...
But around the time Eustace is three-fourths of the way there, he hears the flutter of wings and notices some shadows passing overhead.
Dammit.]
Tifa, seagulls! Keep an eye out for them!
no subject
[Can't they just have one normal day? Then again, there is nothing "normal" about being on a giant snapping turtle's back, but she supposes that's not the craziest thing that's happened around here. Others seem to have noticed the presence of these predators as well and are working to shoo them off, some with magic, others by throwing rocks at them.
When one seagull swoops down, she arches her fist upward, throwing up a thin wall of flames that dissipates, but it's enough to send the bird flying away with singed tailfeathers, and it rears around to bother Eustace instead, her only warning a cry of his name before it flaps at his ears.]
no subject
...
But he stares at with a slight frown.]
Just one... There's bound to be more.
[He looks at Tifa.]
How are the turtles so far? Any moving yet?
no subject
Think the seagull scared it off... But I can see more movement.
[Which means more are hatching, and they'll inevitably start to push each other out.]
no subject
Should have made tunnels...but too late now. Let's keep moving, and I'll try to keep anymore birds at bay if they show up.
no subject
But as she's doing that, she remembers—]
Oh, what about the shells!? We were supposed to decorate the nest...
no subject
...Should I just clear out the birds first...
[That's said in an ominous voice as if he would actually go out and hunt the birds so that his girlfriend can decorate turtle nests in peace—]
no subject
Go away! That one's mine!
[HER BOYFRIEND PICKED OUT THAT SHELL FOR HER!!]
no subject
Yeah, okay that seals his decision.
After she swings the bird away, it's going to suddenly fall to the ground twitching with a distinct burning small, smoke rising from its charred feet. It's actually not dead, just stunned by the lightning that suddenly struck it down, but maybe they could have friend seagull later.]
Stay by the nests... I'll be right back.
[And he's already grabbed his gun and is moving towards where a larger flock of seagulls have started to form..........]
no subject
Wait, Eustace—? Where are you going?
[She looks down at the bird, then back at him, then at the bird as it gives a little squaaawk. She pokes its leg with the end of the driftwood.]
