He stays in his corner for now — the beach is easy-pickings and he takes to combing through it daily for crustaceans that he, slowly, grows bored of picking at. It is a luxury at first; Corentin oft prefers the leaner meals, yet it swiftly shifts into repetition.
Repetition that shatters with the appearance of neighbors that make their boisterous claims known to any in the area. A ragtag bunch of delinquent misfits that seem keen to challenge the new status-quo. Corentin keeps his distance from them. He only travels onto the shoreline when he knows they aren’t around. It helps that they are so loud.
Expression pinched, he’d hoped the morning would make them scarce. Summer is hot and the smarter of animals would take to the shade of the trees. Himself typically, too, but he plays around the plan that they would, at the very least, have common sense.

They linger on the beach, laughing loudly and taunting as they go. Corentin releases a heavy sigh and plops down on his vantage point — carefully wrapped in a tree that is thick enough to support his weight.
