Silly Plots 4: It's not particularly silly, is it?

[Fenric]

It's a little disappointing that there's no caves or sunken ship or giant fish here.
But racing around tossing up silt is good too. That occupies three hatchlings, while Hana swims deeper, towards the shelf.

Cleo is probably scaring away the pike-fish just by being so strange. But maybe that'll drive one right towards Keiko, if they're lucky.

"We should stay together," Steven suggests. "We're all equipped to be down here, but that doesn't mean we can't get lost."
It's not like there's many landmarks this far down.

As Hana approaches the edge, she may or may not notice that the silt stops and the floor becomes swept-clean rocks

Caroline nods her agreement with Steven

I think that's a good idea: we can see pretty well, but fresh water isn't known for its clarity and no amount of fancy eye configuration is going to help if the water is just too full of junk for light to even get through. Granted, we can always teleport back to the beach but if one of the kids wanders off it will not be fun.

Keiko hasn't had luck finding anything - it's likely the group's noisy entrance scared every away fish within a mile. Caroline's concern is not unfounded, either: with the hatchlings playing in the silt, visibility is beginning to drop.
