He listened with solemn courtesy, and though he still didn't truly understand her, he inclined his head in gratitude for her offer. I would like that, he agreed. Perhaps seeing these cells she spoke of would make them seem more real, and he was always curious about landwalker devices and the interesting things they were capable of.
Her second offer of an algae delivery was met with quiet relief and his stoic expression eased as he nodded again. It would help to have some in Torchline as well, he agreed. So far his experiments had been limited to the Saltkiss Estuary in the Greatwood; his Aquaportation could move himself and small items, but not other living things - at least, not people or animals. Thank you.
Curiosity? That was something the mermanta could understand, and a sense of appreciation ebbed into the Bond. Sometimes no other reason was needed, but he could at least use his magic to reach out and calm the currents around them so that Phoebe was no longer in danger of being swept away.
And he had a measure of his own curiosity for the Greatwood's mistress in this rare chance to tread water and chat without any trial or time limit pressing down upon them. May I ask you some questions about yourself, and what it is like to be a demigod?
