Lobster boy

The reef

                "Hello?  ...is anyone.. here?"     "Hello??"

"AHH!!"    

"Oh no!  I-  I didn't mean to frighten you..."   "I'm.. Marshall.  Who are you?"  

"...."

Marshall: "No name huh?"

"...No.."

Marshall: "......oh..."

Both:  "......"

Marshall:  "....Woah..  you're- a lobster dog...?!"

"...No?"

Marshall:  "THAT'S AMAZING!!"

"y-you... think.. so?"

Marshall:  "OF COURSE I DO!"

The lobster boy's tail started wagging rapidly, and they both smiled at one-another.  Marshall helped him up from under the dock.  A small shark plush falls out from under the blanket he held.  

Marshall: "WOAH!! IS THAT A MAKO SHARK??!!"

"y-yeah..."

Marshall: "That's so cool!!  It's got all the features too!!!" 

The boy smiled and picked up his shark.  

"y-you... wanna hold her?"

Marshall: "May I??"

"...s-sure..!"

Marshall took the shark from the boy's hands, and begun examining its features.  

Marshall: "I got it!  That's what I'll call you!!  Mako!"

"M-mako?"

Marshall: "Mhm!"

Mako smiled and looked up at Marshall, then back down at his shark.  

Mako: "I love it."

Their tails both swayed as they walked away from the dock.  

Marshall: "can I... show you something?"

Mako: "sure..?"

They walk down the shore to a small reef filled with sea life.  Marshall's tail wagged in excitement when they arrived.

Marshall: "this... is sandy.  He's a sand dollar."

Mako: "woah.."

Both of their tails wagged as they pered down at sandy.  

Mako {quietly:"he's beautiful."
