By Drai'shok standards, he was not more than a boy. In order to not be seen, he dropped beneath the water almost completely, leaving only his eyes and the top of his head for the small waves to roll past.<br/><br/>Over the next few days, he watched with curiosity and astonishment as a man seemed to take the place of the large, scaled beast. From what he was able to tell, there was nothing wrong with it outwardly, other than what appeared to be exhaustion. Each time he came up from the seas the man was either gathering more food, or eating. He never did manage to pull fish from the water though. Perhaps he didn't find the bouty of the sea to his liking?<br/><br/>His question was soon answered when the man approached the waters, obviously seeking some form of sustenance. With a small, but audible splash, he dove down into the deeper waters just past the dropoff where his home lie beneath the waves. Spotting one of the larger, meatier species, he quickly bore down on it, and grabbed it by the tail. Pulling a small knife from a sheath on his ankle, he bludgeoned the thing into lifelessness with a sharp pop. One learned at an early age not to spill blood. Too many predators used the scent of it, and that was the last thing he felt like dealing with.<br/><br/>Kicking hard but steadily, he made his way back up the beach, head and shoulders cresting the waves as he dragged the seven pounds of meat upwards. Locating the man as he stomped about like a child would, Hiyrin gave a sharp whistle and tossed the scaled thing up onto the beach behind the unknown man.
