Ashen Sky nearly swallowed his teeth when Astrid strode forward and started prodding the shark spirit in the chest. Artisan beat the changing moon to the punch though and intercede between the two to make a valiant effort at smoothing feathers. For his own part the shark spirit seemed to take the Full Moons brazen attitude in stride. Maintaining eye contact with her, It's lips curried back revealing rows upon rows of teeth in a grin that was [¡]just[/i] shy of menacing. "Of course, of course. We wouldn't want to delay Fakharu's servants while his protection wanes." Impossibly that grin seemed get even wider. It took a step back and gave a quick bow, eyes still locked on Astrid. "The lady of the court will surely love to hear of this 'dire' task he has sent you on and the favors she might be willing to grant in aiding it."

While the shark spirit turned to its fellows, An irate Ashen Sky shot both the abyssal and his fellow lunar a dirty look. 'Thanks guys, let's just broadcast to the world that Ameral is the dragon's weak point and the easiest way to get leverage over him. It's not like he asked us to be tactful about this for any reason.' The leader of the shark spirits came forward again and presented a box held by his comrade. In it were several necklaces made of cowery shells. "The ladies court lies beneath the waves. While some of you might have the means to traverse the depths it is my understanding that humans struggle to respite water as we do. As such our Lady has sought fit to loan you these trinkets for the duration of your stay. Wear them and they will allow you to breath the water as easily as you would the air."

The box carrying sharkman approached each exalt one by one and held out the case for them to claim their own necklace. It paused when it came to Lux, and raised a brow at the sight of the caged at her side. "Aw, a raven. One of the Lady's favorite offerings. It is good to see that some among your number know the proper etiquette in meeting a storm mother."

Once it had completed its circuit around the the ships deck, the leader of the trio spoke up again. "Once you all have you talisman affixed, please, follow us." With no other prompting the three spirits stepped to the edge of the ship and promptly dove back overboard, returning to their bestial forms when they hit the water and resumed circling the ship while they waited for the exists to follow after them.
