At one end of the beach, the program was set up for some minor surfing. There was just the right arrangement of artificial reef that it created some waves that weren't very challenging, but were enough to have some fun with. This turned out to be the perfect setting for new learners as well. Alex Talion had been instructing a Klingon Security Officer on how to best improve his technique. Both of them had taken a number of runs and The Klingon had been a fast learner, but was discovering that there was more to it that it looked. Both men were in very good physical shape. When they were in uniform, one would not have guessed it, but in only their swim trunks, it was obvious that Talion was actually bigger and more solidly built than the Klingon. They were often pointing at the waves as they repeatedly formed and broke, eventually washing up on shore at their feet. The talking was quite animated, using various hand gestures as they discussed the topic at hand.
Near them, playing at the edge of the surf, a small girl and a big dog played. They ran in and out of the water. The dog didn't bark, but would growl in a playful sort of way and sometimes issue a half bark sort of "Wuh" sound, not letting the girl quite catch him. The dog sometimes stopped to glance around the beach in a watchful sort of way, but then quickly went back to playing. The girl, on the other hand, was talking to the dog as if she were having a one sided conversation with a friend.
At one point, the dog appeared to let the girl catch it, but then artfully rolled over with the tackle and she ended up on the bottom, where the dog then gave her a number of quick slurps with his giant tongue. The girl made a disgusted face but laughed as she pushed the dog away, "Ew! That's gross! Sloppy doggy kisses!" She obviously didn't dislike it as much as she made t sound though, as their play and her laughter continued. The dog was bigger than she was. He appeared to be a breed of Mastiff and easily weighed two to three times what the girl did, maybe more. The girl appeared about six and had on a one piece bathing suit.
This continued for a bit until the girl tired and she said something to the dog. The dog then dutifully walked over to where some things were piled under an umbrella. He picked up a bag by the handles, with his mouth, then carried it over to the girl, who thanked the dog as she then began making a sand castle near the water's edge. The dog then simply sat and took up a sort of sentry position as the girl began to make a very elaborate piece of sand sculpture.
Samira Khasim saw them and whenever she looked at the girl, the dog seemed to look at Samira. Sometimes there was a curious tilt of the head, but as she was the closest other person, the dog seemed to keep coming back to looking at her.
