Beyo
Not my usual quality of work but I am not mentally okay this week and need something to snap me out of it so here is a halfassed scene meant to free me.

Nightingale walked down the beach, looking into each tide pool left from the water going out. They were all over the beach by the large rock formations.
The ten year old boy stopped by one of the pools and knelt down in the sand. Some small fish had gotten trapped here. Little minnows.
He placed his hand in the water and all the fish immediately swarmed to him. He closed his fist slowly around the fish that didn't even flee from the movement.
Night then lifted them from the water and brought them to his mouth, swallowing each of the little fish whole. All he could really taste was the salty water on his tongue as they slid down his throat.
That was how he spent most of his days. He'd search for crabs and minnow in the tide pools to eat then rest on the sand.
Night made his way to the rock that reached out over the ocean and climbed up it. He loved the view from up here. Sometimes he'd jump and go swimming for fun.
"What are you doing up there, it's dangerous." A females voice called.
Night startled and looked back to the beach but saw no one.
"Down here, boy!"
Night looked down to where a head peeked above the waves. A girl who had appeared right from the ocean. No, not a woman, an octomaid.
The girl didn't look much older than him by her face though her body was much larger. "What are you doing up there?" She repeated her question.
"Just looking." Night answered. "Who are you?"
"I'm Beyo! Come down from there before you get hurt."
Night considered it before nodding and carefully climbing down. He kicked his shoes off and waded out into the water to meet the octomaid half way.
