[Just focus on your job, buddy. Toby's too busy to snark back.
It's only a few moments on the outside, but for Toby, and the creature she's latched onto, it feels like much longer. She makes it choose. And when she lets it go, a shark falls back into the water, clear of any tiger parts.
Well, for the most part. She left the barest trace of tiger blood in it, just enough to give it whiskers and the ability to breathe on land. Just enough that she can turn it back later, if it comes to seek her out. She doesn't want to be entirely cruel, and while she will do what she has to to survive and keep herself and Molly alive, all this creature is guilty of is hunger. It doesn't deserve to be crippled forever for it.
The other tiger sharks back off hurriedly when they see what she's done. Toby wipes her mouth with her hand and looks back at Molly.]
