Hm. Well. Nocturne looked around, scanning the beach nearby for any shells. That was where they lived, yeah? On beaches? But this one had none, not even a teeny tiny shell to be found so far. And he wasn’t the only one who noticed it, either. People started splitting off, heading left toward open beach or right toward some weird land formations he didn’t recognize, until there were only a few of them left. It felt like a guessing game: scour more open beach for shells, or hope some got like...caught up in the odd shape of the land to the right as the tide went out, maybe?
He tilted his head, frowning and studying the strange structures for a long moment, then glanced back to the left and stared after the people who’d headed toward more open beach. But he couldn’t think of a reason why the right would be any different from where he’d landed, and maybe the funny land shapes would’ve caught something, made some tide pools that might hold happy little shells or--well, he didn’t really know. But there was nothing for it but to pick and see where it took him.
The path to the right made the most sense, so he wasn’t really sure why he turned left. There was no rhyme or reason, just a feeling. Maybe because more people were headed to the right, and it made sense to divide as evenly as possible? Sure. Honestly, he wasn’t really sure why he chose left, just when his feet started moving, they took him toward the open beach instead.
