The birds were hungry, but not stupid. They took off under the assault, but did not go far. Settling on rocks and shoals a ways off, their hungry eyes followed every item of food as it was unpacked and set down. Surely there would be scraps. They could wait.
Seren took a trip along the beach to gather up any scattered belongings while Maeve unpacked lunch. Returning with discarded sunglasses, shawls and a big conch shell - dark pink rather than black, but maybe it counted towards their game anyway? - she settled them down beside her friend, then flopped down on the blanket herself. Quick fingers nicked a pastry almost immediately, and the grin on her face dared Maeve to complain about it.
"If you want to share, then yes" she replied simply. "I don't have to understand everything to listen." Biting into the treat, she let her eyes trail off to the horizon, leaving Maeve with all the space she might need to think and gather her thoughts.
