Just before midday and Charybdis found herself at the beach once again, shirking her hunting duties. The curly furred female's mind was on one thing; the starfish farm she started. She arranged a lot of large rocks, buried them in the sand and then brought water painstakingly slow from the ocean to the beach with a banana leaf.
It had rained last night, so the pool should be nice and full, even if it was a bit less salty. When her neon paws rounded the corner and jumped up on the first rock to her pond, she was shocked to see that it was empty.
"What on earth...?" The water was there, it looked fine, but the starfish had clearly gone back to the beach. "Oh no, come back!" Charybdis cried, starting at a run to follow the tracks. Had they reached the ocean already or were there just five or six starfish crawling that way? "Of course they could escape, it wasn't a good enough plan!"
What a way to start a day.

Kampfur's ears laid back at a sudden, jarring howl from the shoreline. He winced, opening his eyes just in time to see the sleek-bodied fish darting away from his paws.
"No, no, no!" He dove for the nearest...
But it was too late. Instead of finding tasty, fatty fish between his jaws, Kamfur dove straight into the brimy sand beneath the waves. He came up sputtering, spewing dirt and water everywhere, as he got his paws back under himself. Once he could stand without drowning, he shot a furious glance at the shoreline where a lioness was racing down the sand.
He'd been standing shoulder-deep in the water just behind a rather large boulder for a long while, waiting in patient silence as the fish gradually adjusted to his presence. Now he was water-logged, muddy, and he had salt-water up his nose.
What a spectacular morning.
"Do you mind?" He snapped as he clawed his way back toward the shore. There was no point in waiting. The fish were scared, and wouldn't be back to this spot for quite some time. "Some of us are trying to fish."

"Bahari," Kampfur muttered to himself, looking distantly off in the direction he'd seen her come from.
She'd said 'near', this Charybdis, not 'here.' He wasn't in the pride's lands, then, which was good. Kampfur had had his fill of tresspassing and the consequences there in.
Then the rest of what she'd said caught up to him, and he turned another incredulous look on her.
"You were studying them." It wasn't so much a question as a statement, as though he were trying to wrap his brain around this.
Kampfur shook his head slowly, clearly in disbelief, before he finished lumbering himself from the shallows and shook his body head-to-tail. The water flung from his fur, but it did little to dry the heavy mass, now dingy with bits debris stuck all over and sand caking his paws.
When he was done, he continued up the shore past her. "I'm pretty sure they're just fish, Charyb-b-bliss? Char-I-bliss? Chary-b-duh---"
Kampfur stopped, clamping his mouth shut with an obvious wince at his butchering of her name.
