As the ship finally begins to move out into the harbor, Azlant looks on with more than a little concern as Jaku begins to heave back up several otters one by one, eventually concluding with the foreman.  Although he's glad to see that the captain doesn't seem to mind their presence too much, Jaku's collapse pulls his attention back to her.<span style="font-style: italic">"She should be fine, given food and time to rest; she's had precious little of either the past few days."</span><br/><br/>As Arkain comes back down to the main deck, Azlant gives him a quizzical look when he mentions resting.<span style="font-style: italic">"Just because </span>I'm<span style="font-style: italic"> tired doesn't mean that I can't help.  Don't forget that I'm not the only one here."</span>A sudden gust of wind heralds Chroma's arrival as she coalesces up on top of a crate nearby before taking off, the slight distortion that gives her away quickly lost in the distance.  Soon afterward, a fin made of water breaks the surface of the water near the ship and begins to lazily circle the boat in slowly-widening rings.<span style="font-style: italic">"Chroma will be able to tell if there's anything else in store for us out there, and Aquia can see about finding Jaku a meal more suited to her current appetite.  If you need them, just call out and they'll answer if they hear you."</span>Slowly taking off, Azlant curls up on the roof of the wheelhouse where he can watch out to sea without needing to move much.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>Watching as Suri first explains the connection that Jaku and Tamara share and then Tamara begins to manipulate it, Kellus is struck by how close their connection is to the one that he and Azlant share.  Although it was formed in far less pleasant circumstances, it was no less integral to who they are now, especially with the mixing of their forms that the trip into Jaku's womb has caused.  As Tamara finally settles on a far more masculine-looking form, Kellus is curious to see how her choice will manifest; given some of the drastic changes that Jaku has gone through recently, it may occur quickly, but with the magnitude of the chane, he also wouldn't be surprised if it begins to set in slowly over the coming days.
