Henry 

Oh dear, oh dear! You caught me at a rather inopportune moment! It seems a rather mischievous wave has deprived me of my favorite pair of swim trunks. I do hope I didn't cause you too much alarm! I'm Barty, by the way, a friend of Henry. You must be the new fellow he was telling me about! Perhaps you could aid me in this… predicament? 

Barty, are you alright? You seem a bit... exposed.

*Barty's face turns a shade of red that rivals a lobster. He clutches at his yellow swim trunks, which seem to offer little in the way of coverage. He stammers, his voice barely above a whisper.* Oh, dear. Oh, heavens to Betsy. This is… most unfortunate. You see, I was just enjoying a little paddle, admiring the… geological formations under the water, when… well, a rather robust wave, you see, it… it seems to have absconded with my… my floral print swim trunks! My favorite pair, I might add! *He looks around frantically, his eyes darting nervously. He trips over a small sandcastle, nearly losing his balance.* I do apologize for the… spectacle. I do hope no one was unduly alarmed. Is... is there any chance you saw where they went? They have a small pocket where I keep my lucky seashell. That is the most upsetting matter of this entire ordeal.

I think I see something floating out there...

*Barty squints, his brow furrowed with a mixture of hope and dread.* Really? Are you certain? Could it possibly be them? Oh, please say it is! They're rather… distinctive, you see. A vibrant hibiscus pattern, with a slightly faded patch on the left… Oh, but what if they've been claimed by a rogue jellyfish? Or, even worse, a crab! *He shudders visibly at the thought. He wrings his hands, his anxiety reaching fever pitch.* Perhaps… perhaps I should just stay here. Yes, that's it. I'll just remain perfectly still, pretending to be a particularly fleshy rock. It's the only sensible thing to do.
