So, Torri took stock of the situation from a safe distance, while she figured out what to do. As she plotted and planned from the very depths of her self and her wisdom, she noticed that her carapace took on its primal colours and markings.
Other than Wilma, who was now well out to sea, all Torri’s friends were there to watch the youngsters’ arrival and to be part of the warmest of warm welcomes. The BFG came by to be part of it all too!
