Anna giggled a little as Elizabeth also began to call for the squid. He probably didn't answer to the calls of the students, but at least they could all have fun with it while waiting around for him to appear. She turned and waved at Robert, who'd just joined the group. She started to answer his question about what they were up to, but Elizabeth beat her to it. Instead, Anna reached down and grabbed another fish, tossing it quickly into the water below. She peered over the edge and searched for any sign of the squid, but when she saw none, she sat up straight once again.

"Draw him out with a bubblehead?" Anna asked Robert. "Do you know how big that thing is? He'd have us caught and tossed out the lake before we could even realize what was happening." She picked up a fish, grabbed Robert's hand, and smacked the fish lightly in his palm. "Try that instead. He supposedly appears for them."

"Compliment him, eh?" Anna asked the groundskeeper. "Now that I can handle...if he'll ever appear. How long does it usually take to lure him to the surface?" They must have thrown a ton of fish into the lake by now. This thing was ever not hungry or not willing to meet with them at all.
