Chapter Text
At first Matt doesn’t know what to make of the creature. He thinks it’s a shark. The echo of its body, its smell, its profile, indicate shark. Mostly. But it’s also making noises he’s never heard from a shark before -- and oh yes, it has legs. That’s... new.
Whatever it is, it nudges his arm with a blunt snout, then darts away a short distance and swims tight circles before stopping to barrel-roll in place. Bemused, Matt waits. After a moment, it approaches him again to repeat the sequence. As if encouraging him to...
Ah.
Matt smiles, gives chase.
