I see. You need enough wet sand so that it will all stick together, but not so much that the structure gets too soggy. That seems logical.

[ But so she doesn't ignore his enthusiasm entirely: ]

I am looking forward to seeing how this will turn out in the end.

[digthefuzz]

You got it! [He acknowledges with a snap of a finger.] You need just the right balance to complete this tall order.

...And there's other tricks for making walls, moats and towers and all... but I guess we could skip over those for now. It'll take enough effort just to make this baby tall enough! I guess it doesn't have to look too pretty as long as it gets the job done.

[saburai]

Perhaps some other time we can try making beautiful castles. For now, I think you're right - stability and practicality are key.

[digthefuzz]

Exactly! If the weather stays nice, once this bingo nonsense settles down then I'll show you how it's really done!

[He starts helping to work on another layer. Slowly but surely, it's making its way towards their heights!]

And for now, we'll try to reach the height of our success.

[saburai]

I'll look forward to it.

[ She'll continue to add on dry sand to help stabilize the structure and to add height. ]

[digthefuzz]

[With that, they continue building up the sand castle, with Kurt giving more tips here and there, until finally it managed to manages to surpass both of their heights.

Kurt immediately begins cheering.]

Alright!! We totally rocked it. We are the masters of the sand, man!

[With that, he eagerly holds out his hand for a high five!]

[saburai]

[ Give her a minute to notice that hand, and then she'll give him the high five he's waiting for. ]

You certainly are, at the very least. This was an impressive feat.

[digthefuzz]

[It's worth the wait! Kurt continues cheering and goes into a dorky victory dance.]

Hey, it was a team effort! This would have taken all day without your help... So, thanks! Not a bad way to get to meet someone, Kaguya!

[saburai]

[ That's true... teamwork certainly did save them both a fair amount of time, in the end. She's in a good enough mood about finishing this task that she doesn't even pay his strange dancing any mind. ]

You're welcome, then. And thank you for all your help as well, Kurt.

[digthefuzz]

No problemo! I'm glad to show you the way.

[As his dancing dies down, he wipes some sweat from his forehead.]

Now that that's over with... I think I'm gonna go for a dip! I really worked up a sweat.

[saburai]

[ Which reminds her... ]

Ah, be careful when you do. There was something strange in the water earlier... though hopefully it's left by now.

[digthefuzz]

Really? Thanks for the heads up... I hope it's not like a shark or something!

[saburai]

I didn't get a good enough look to tell what it was. Perhaps it was nothing after all, but it doesn't hurt to be careful.

Still, I hope you're able to enjoy your swimming regardless.

[digthefuzz]

Huh. [He nods as he takes that in.]

I'll be careful, promise. Thanks for the heads up! It was good to meet you, Kaguya! [he waves to her as he starts to depart.]

[saburai]

Nice to meet you as well. Have a good rest of your day.

[ And she'll wave him off! ]
