Unknown that which perched atop the steady column of singular leg, mused the ivory plumage, fine that about inward drawn neck until it seemed no visible joint connected skull and body, half shuttered beady depths of obsidian. Lengthy the time observation had been conducted - at the least within mind of observer such rang with truth - others coming and going at irregular intervals. And yet solitary rest had been prolonged, if broken at times with departure or arrival, brief fluster smoothed by the sweep beam made along pinions.
Intruder.
Word lacking placement among the limited confinements vocabulary permitted, clumsy and uncoordinated the tongue that peeked between teeth, held there as brow furrowed. Short his own time among those who dwelt along quiet shores within wake of ravaging storm, enough, however, what may pass for annoyance had gathered beneath his skin. Along grains stilted the slide paw made, another behind soon after, the twitching flick of tail all that may convey the tattered threads unravelling in inclined head.
It saw him.
Progression halted beneath scrutiny, beak parting in a semblance of yawn, as though his presence upon the shore other occupied with surety of its security was dismissible with ease, attention turning with slight performed. Indignant the squeaky growl arising as lips peeled away from teeth in a look bearing no true sense of threat, heavy the manner paws struck sand, floundering steps but allowed accomplishment of forward momentum. Startled by the sudden charge the haste within which the gull took a few steps allowed only for a poor take-off, within fanned tail feathers tiny claws catching.
Raucous the cry that arose within brine tinted air, quick if rather useless the first corrective flaps, among its brethren the gull slipping. The departure was not observed, however, it was the prize held in trembling paws the kitten looked to instead. Quill broken in the rough manner it was ripped from hold it was a mess, the state of it may only diminish his glee a minor hit as it were, wide the grin etched across silver toned visage.
