He was dragged along the dry earth, feeling his skin leaving the water and reacting with a bothered noise. He suddenly started making an odd rasping noise, contributing by his mouth opening and his gills opening as well. Air ran over them quickly, causing the rasp as he gulped down air. The fact that she was strong enough to haul him around was impressive, as he was much larger than any fish and nearly the length of the mighty oceanic sharks. His tail flopped around behind him at least the length of his body, though it stopped flapping against the sand as she more tightly bound him up. He was completely hers to use as she wanted, and he didn’t react to her touches now that he was beached. He just kept making that rasping sound, trying to breathe the air and having some difficulty doing so. It seemed to contribute to his inactivity, as he struggled to keep alive.
