Frenzy was not terribly busy. Frenzy was not a busy kin on purpose, and it took a lot of awfully hard work to stay that way. She stayed clear of the different little cozy communities with their schedules and task lists, shivering a little at even the thought of wiling away her days doing the same things every day with the prize of being stuck in the same spot. No, none of that was for her.

She stretched, the sun just beginning to peek over the horizon of the ocean.

No, not today. Today was a day for soaking up sun in the softest, sandiest spot available. It was not yet too hot, and not too cool, and she went to roll over on her back, dig her shoulders into the dry sand, and luxuriate.

The spotted doe's rest would be disturbed by the sound of energetic paws racing across the sand, of soft growls and yips, and a soft chuckle on the breeze.

Wonders was not quite so mischievous or rambunctious as some shuppies could be -- relatively tame by comparison -- but she still held boundless energy, and needed to be walked daily. Worlds enjoyed taking the shuppy down the coast, watching the pup chase the waves and go after darting fish in the shallows. She was a playful thing, curious and fearless, and that meant she didn't hesitate to rush over to the curious doe relaxing on the beach.

"Wonders, don't disturb them," World's chided gently, and the shuppy did slow, but she didn't stop completely. Moving up at a determined walk, to sniff at the spotted doe's tail.

Frenzy cracked one long-eyelashed eye at the scabbling of some - oh, no, that wasn't a puppy at all. It had a bulbous head full of sharp teeth. That was a shark with legs.

The doe scrambled to her feet, not dignified at all, short fur practically standing on end, her tail straight up.

That's when she realised while it was a shark, it was a tiny shark. Still, piranhas were tiny. She puffed up her chest, trying to reassemble herself in as dignified a way as possible after her scare, and eyed the thing warily, before shifting her bright purple gaze over to its...owner? She moved her tail out of it's reach in a sweep.

"Charming," she said, moving over slightly away from it and visibily skittish of the walking rows of teeth, "I suppose you don't have any trouble giving it a wash."

The shuppie didn't seem to notice the doe puffing herself up, or it just didn't care. It was difficult to tell. It had, however, ceased it's advancing after Worlds had called out to it, and was now simply sitting in the sand, staring up keenly at the other doe with its maw slightly open and tail swaying.

Worlds let out a soft chuckle as she caught up to Wonders, and nudged the shuppy with the side of her foot affectionately. "No, no trouble at all. Shuppies are full of energy though, so they can be a handful."

The keenness was unnerving. Frenzy pointed her nose up, pretending she didn't notice. "It's a walking stomach, so I can imagine." Rude, short, teethy. No, not her kind of thing at all. Her strange, skeletal tail twitched.

She prowled around the shuppy carefully, measuring up the thing's companion. Well, not bad. Whatever else could be said for her choice in pets, the other doe kept her mane in excellent condition. She was bright like a poisonous butterfly, a dazzling shimmer that must be good for catching prey...of a certain kind. She wanted to play with all the frilly parts.

She circled Worlds like a shark, brushing the side of her body against her as she did, the tip of her tail skimming under World's chin.

"You look like a local. What do you do for fun around here?"
