He bows. "I concede victory to the superior artiste."

"Thank you, thank you. My only regret is that I didn't arrange a prize for this contest."

"You can make me do one stupid thing."

"Hm... I'll have to think about the best thing to do with that. I won't make it too bad, promise."

He joins Tabby and Gren in the water.

Nemo will proudly make his nice, themed castle more elaborate. And dig it a moat so the tide doesn't ruin it quite so quickly.

Be nice if we had a camera," says Zeke to Gren.

"Alas a pictograph machine is not something I own. Or can make on the spot."

"I'll sketch it for you," one of the islanders volunteers.

"Thanks!"

"I think I will finally actually swim."

He is splashed.

He splashes back.

Tabby splashes Gren, just to be fair.

Splash fight! She must defend her home land's splash honor!

The tribe of two's splash might will not be questioned!

Nemo is forced to bow out, spitting saltwater.

Gren fights on!

"And so it was that the warrior of Windfall fell!"

"Well you two have an unfair advantage."

"I guess..."

"I call the island to my aid! Children of Outset Island, splash the interlopers!"

They dive into the water en masse, still in shore clothes.

Not even their vampiric might can stand up to the full force of Outset Island's offspring!

"Okay, okay, you guys win!"

Everyone is laughing.

Grandma Erlund and that kid who's obsessed with running's parents seems to be hauling pig barbeque down to the impromptu beach party. Someone else starts playing a banjo.

Zeke starts singing to it.

Nemo starts hawking his magic jars. Orca is happy to spar with the twins and Gren again. Everybody's chatting or swimming hand having a good time.

It's a great mid-afternoon party.
