THE SEA HAD SO MANY NEW CREATURES ARAMINTA HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE. As a lover of learning new things, she had so much fun each time they went down to the beach. Even if it was to do not-so-fun things like ambushing a Marleyan ship.
She had the unpleasant experience of discovering jellyfish after Connie got stung by one, and they all panicked, thinking he was going to die. He had said his dramatic goodbyes, and even told Araminta that he used to have a crush on her when they were cadets. She cried at his bedside.
He was fine.
They had also found out about lobsters when they confiscated them from the ship Niccolo was on. At first, Araminta had been terrified of them, but when he told them they could be cooked into food, she was less scared. She didn't really understand how anybody would be able to eat one of those when they've got such a thick shell, but she just took his word for it.
Tonight, she had discovered something new. It was something that looked like a lobster, but it didn't have the tail, and it was much wider than a lobster. It had the same big pinchers, though, so she was very wary of the shelled creature.
It was probably not the best time to be distracted by a little creature, and to be poking it with a stick. They had just successfully intercepted another Marleyan ship, only this time the captain of the ship had been murdered by a woman claiming to be an Anti-Marleyan Volunteer. She and another man who had been on the ship had been taken into a tent with Hange and Levi to be questioned.
"Araminta, stop poking that thing. It's going to hurt you." Jean snapped at her as she once again poked the creature with her long stick she had found.
"No it's not! Look at it, it doesn't even have eyes." She told him, rolling her eyes. The creature snapped at her stick with its claw, and the suddenness of it made her jump.
