Keona sniffed softly, uncertain if she was crying because of the pain, or that she had sent the poor creature flying.  Instinctively, she wanted to go find it, make sure it was alright, but something told her it may not appreciate the gesture.  Actually, she thinks rather sullenly, it might just grab her again.  After a moment, she managed to settle her breathing down, tilting her head up towards the sound of Bee's voice.

"Didn't mean to..." She mumbled, ears flattened.  She had not even known the crab was there.  Still.  She was glad it had let go, and that it was not large enough to take her rather tiny paws off with it.  Were there crabs that could do that?  The thought made her a little antsy.  The shore was not as familiar to her as it once was.

A distinctly irish voice cut her ears, and her head snapped in the direction.  Suddenly more sheepish, she focused her sightless eyes down as her father arrived on the scene, barely listening as he addressed Bee's question - of course she was not sick... She was pretty sure anyway - then supporting the other's statement as well.  By this point, she had managed to stop the tears, mumbling a quiet affirmation to her fretful father's words.

At least he did not sound angry with her running off.
