Jedi practice

Grogu knows he needs to practice using the Force. It's the only way he'll get better and not get exhausted so quickly. So he's found a quiet spot outside to sit. He's got an array of stones (And a little metal sphere) Before him. Closing his eyes, he holds his hands out and focuses. The items begin to float. They rise in the air and begin to float in a slow circle around him. Now he just has to see how long he can keep this up.

The Beach

All work and no play... We know how that goes.

Grogu has found his way to the beach and is currently humming to himself as he builds a sand structure. It's tough to tell what it is, but the kid seems to be enjoying himself.

Except he hasn't noticed the lobster creeping up on him. Halp?

Beach

[silenziobruno]

After his talk with Cobb about the need for a reliable source of food, Alberto has gone straight to the beach to start making himself useful. He comes out of the ocean carrying a fish the size of a tennis racket under an arm, and a couple of those sponge-like plants that taste like cake under the other. Since he hadn't been expecting to see anybody on this side of the beach, Alberto hadn't bothered to be careful not to show his sea monster form, and almost rushes back into the water when he notices someone else by the sand.

He stops upon noticing it's not a land dweller, or at least not a human. Alberto to figure out this is the green kid who's been eating Cayde's fishes, going by the description he got from the Exo and others. Ezra mentioned the child name to him, too, but Alberto doesn't quite remember it. Greg? Yogurt? Something like that. It's kinda cute, big ears and all, and Alberto is fond of children. Grogu is too distracted to notice him, so Alberto is about to go head back towards his hideout when he spots the lobster moving close to the kid. Ah, crap.

He quickly crosses the distance separating them in two strides and slaps it with his tail with a loud TWACK! leaving the lobster half-buried in the purple sand, twitching.

"Tsk. Nasty things. You okay?"

[the_child]

The noise behind him got his attention. With a surprised noise, he turns, his ears dropping. He mentally scolds himself for being so careless as to let something sneak up on him. But... Oh... This stranger saved him from the weird creature twitching in the sand.

He nods. Yeah. They're not so good to eat, at least not like that. After a pause, he waves. Uh. Hi.

[silenziobruno]

Alberto gives him a smile but tries not to show his shark-like teeth much, well aware that they can freak out people. And freaked out people means trouble, usually the harpooning sort. The kid is just too adorable and he soon finds himself relaxing and reaching out to shake that tiny hand.

"Good! I'm Alberto Scorfanp, a pleasure to meet you." He lets go after a moment, looking around for any possible adults and seeing no one. "Oh, are you all alone?"

[the_child]

Grogu shakes his hand. Sorry, Alberto. He can't say his name, but he can still be friendly!

Looking around, he shrugs a little. Yeah, he guesses he's alone. What of it?

[silenziobruno]

Worry not, little fellow, Alberto talks enough for two people. He likes children, so he's generally pretty good with them. At the head shake, he gives a friendly smile.

"Ah, I see." No way he's leaving the kid all alone on the beach where more nasty creatures could show up. The problem is that he will inevitably dry off if he stays out of the water. Alberto leaves the fish in the sand, he will take care of it later, and after checking no one else is around, he squats down to Grogu's eye level.

"Could you keep a secret? I want to show you something but it's a special thing adults can't know about."

Little does he knows that he's talking to a 50-year-old being, oh well.

[the_child]

A secret? Grogu's eyes widen. Well, who could understand him even if he wanted to tell? He nods, his ears raising. Yes, tell him!!

[silenziobruno]

"Hah. Okay, thanks. Look!"

Still smiling, Alberto shakes himself like a dog, getting rid of the excess water covering him. The blue scales retreat into his body, leaving tanned, freckled skin behind. The purple fins in his head change to curly brown hair. He has ears now, as well as rounded pupils even if his eyes are still bright green. His tail and the fins on his arms and leg disappear altogether. He looks as human as any other kid now, even with five fingers one each hands instead of the four he had before.

"Taaada! I look like this when dry."
