[scooting far enough away from the edge that he won't be shoved back in again before peering over at the seal to compare it to the pictures of Earth seals]
No way, he's way bigger than an Earth seal. Fluffier too, I think. Theirs don't have this much fur.
There's always a catch. Don't let him swim off, I'll go find something.
[NUDGES HIM TO TAKE MORE PHOTOS TOO while he looks around for fish. there are no fish on the island, obviously, so he scoots over to see if he can spot any swimming around in the water nearby]
[by the time he gets back Mikleo has wound up backed onto the beach again, his legs trapped under the seal and the seal thoroughly investigating the camera with its big dumb nose; he's laughing, though]
[he doesn't need that dignity anyways!! Sorey feeds the seal just enough to distract it before flopping down next to Mikleo and letting the sun dry him off]
[Sorey's laughing too, although it's breathless and involuntary as he tries to un-pin himself and retaliate in kind, going for Mikleo's sides with both hands even as he tries to push some space between them]
[he hits the mark; Mikleo tries his best to fend him off, but with Sorey moving around so much he winds up tumbling off him and back to the sand instead
this just means it's Sorey's turn to pin him and tickle him, although he tries to learn from Mikleo's mistakes and tries to snatch up Mikleo's hands with one of his own]
