Bert momentarily surfaced for breath, catching sight of the nearby beach and the starry sky, before diving down to rejoin his friends. The chubby seal beat his flippers, focusing on the shimmering forms of the moonlit school of fish getting corralled by his group. Soon, he was in position, joining them to work their prey into a tighter pattern where they could each catch from as they desired.

The small group of pinnipeds dove and rose as they spiraled, to ensure that the school didn't slip away at the top or bottom of their contracting ring. Bert rolled and twisted, joining another in looping over the school and back under just to doubly make sure, before returning to his horizontal orbit.

Coming around to the other side of the school, his focus was pulled towards an unusual sight glimpsed through the shiny scales and tighter and tighter bodies... The water on the far side of the school looked just like the night sky... But that couldn't be right.

As Bert watched, the school began to vanish into a central point of the starry sea. Distantly he could hear his friends shouting in alarm, but he was fixated as it got closer and closer. The flow of water started to push the seal towards the oncoming star field as the last fish vanished.

And then, everything abruptly went dark apart from the stars, the cool seawater replaced with something warm and snug smoothly grabbing onto his head and along his streamlined body. Heavy suction pulled upon the seal, the heated surface working past his hips and down his streamlined legs. Bert squirmed in confusion as quickly his whole body got coated the sick, tight warmth. A sudden tug on his flippers sent his wriggling more intense.

Orion's eyes snapped open. The great blue seal reached one hand up and grasped the tail-flippers of a much smaller pinniped before they vanished into his gullet. His neck swelled out in a broad round shifting mass tapered at top and bottom, expanding the pattern of his fur. After a few moments it began to squirm more intensely, sending a tremble down the giant pinniped's spine.

With his unoccupied palm cupping the thrashing bulge in the underside of his throat, he began to smoothly pull. The stretch in his esophagus made it hard to resist the urge to swallow the wriggling mouthful down to join the school of fish. Orion squinted, gaping his jaws wider as he focused on freeing the caught morsel and tried not to think about his instincts. The heavyset, round seal finally got his smaller cousin free of his starry gullet, closing his mouth. "Sorry about that..."

Bert, for his part, somersaulted in his disorientation, before he righted himself, looking about. The seal gasped silently. Without the interference of the school of fish he could see clearly... this enormous male was dark blue with white spots on his back, indeed looking just like the night sky. Now that he was looking at him from the front and not directly in the path of his swimming, his ventral fur was far lighter blue. As for where his starry fur wrapped around his frame, it was still a bit harder to see where he stopped and the ocean began. But once one knew how to look for his boundaries, it was far easier to make out his shape in the moonlight.

One of the other seals swam over, a cross expression on his face. "Hey, you ate that whole school! We worked hard to corral them!"

Orion perked and patted his round sky-blue belly as the school continued to thrash about within. "Well, I'd rather disgorge them for you on land. Don't want them swimming away, right?"

Taken aback, the offended pinniped was speechless, before nodding. "Yes, yes that's a good idea."

Bert, meanwhile, couldn't look away from that broad belly he'd nearly ended up in. He reached out a hand without thinking, stroking over the short, thick blue fur over top of firm, warm blubber.

At the touch a much larger hand came around to his back. Orion smiled down at the smaller male. "It's okay, you can touch."

The dwarfed seal swallowed nervously. "You don't mind?" His gaze travelled up the sky blue pelt on tummy and chest up to the smiling face above him, then back down the line of near-primary blue that bordered Orion's ventral and dorsal fur. Bert's eyes trailed back from the larger seal's wide hip to where his own hand was continuing to feel and stroke, almost without him thinking about it.

Orion chuckled. "Of course not. In fact..." He got a conspiratorial look in his eye, glinting in the moonlight like one of the many stars of his coat. "If you hold on I'll take you to shore."

Bert waited barely a moment before he had his arms wrapped as far as they would go around the much larger seal. He gripped on as best as he could, pressing the side of his face into the firm, warm fat.

A low chuckle met him from above as the immense pinniped curved his arms around the smaller male. Using both hands to help hold his passenger in place, Orion kicked off and started swimming towards the beach, going just slow enough that the rest of the party could keep up, but at a speed that seemed unlikely the massive mammal should have been able to cut his girthy frame through the water.
