Mao pouted at Lukas' determination to stay out of the water. The guy always had to ruin all his fun. "But I found a little friend for you!" He lifted what he had been hiding, seeing that he wouldn't be able to surprise Luke with it since he refused to come any closer. It was a large crab, held securely by his flat body while its pinches waved about in slow fury.
Mao began to speak in an overly cutesy voice, bobbing the crab up and down as if it were talking. "Lukey, why won't you come in the waterrr? I won't hurt you, Lukeeeey!" The crab angrily spat bubbles, a sight that contrasted with Mao's silly entreaties. "I just wanna hug you!" More like pinch your nose off!
Knowing his little game wasn't going to get him anywhere, Mao finally gave up and tossed the crab back into the water. "Fine, fine, fine." He huffed disappointedly, but seemed ready to stop being a brat. He trudged out of the water and sat on the beach. "Stop showing off your stupid Jedi tricks and sit down if you're not gonna swim."
