✯ — female. beta of the typhoon. blind. rusty spotted cat. ref. bio.

Keona found herself blinking, tilting her head up towards the sound of her uncle's voice.  She was not sure why she had not been expecting him, but perhaps she was simply still new to the concept of having an uncle and having him around.  Besides, he was being nice; offering to help.  She supposed there was no harm in it.  She doubted she needed her father's permission to just let him help with her shell collecting, even if he, for some reason, did not seem to fully trust his brother.

"Okay!" With a smile, the beta very carefully tilted her basket over, letting the shells fall slowly into her uncle's.  She dropped her own basket, and angled her towards the new canine, "you can help too." If she wanted.  Keona didn't particularly want to have anyone over her shoulder calling out locations; she liked finding things on her own, but two sets of paws were more efficient than one, and if someone else was looking too, they'd have twice as many shells in half the time.

Seconds after the words were out of her mouth however, she was skidding back across the sand, the search afoot once more, not waiting for a reply.
