Valspan untangled himself from the wreckage of the ship he'd  help make and floated to shore. It would probably have gone faster if someone towed him, but most of the shark people were hesitant to tug on his grasping vines after his display of carnivorous tendencies. He could do nothing to reassure them that they weren't on the menu yet, as he still couldn't speak with a mouth full of water.<br/><br/>Once he staggered up onto shore though, a geyser of water erupted from his top as he vacated the seawater from his stump. Definitely not tasty stuff. He followed the group, remaining silent. There were few ways he could improve the situation by interjecting in the oh so serious conversations taking place, so he remained silent. He was already being given access to the underwater city, though he was seemingly unimpressed by the massive moving structures that were the entrance. Sure they were big, but what's the point to having such a massive door? Perhaps it was a sign of the grandiose might of their people? No they were trying to remain hidden, so what in the heck was the point of such a massive concealable door? Well, clearly it WAS concealable, as he hadn't been able to find it, but anyone with a boat probably could have searched the shallows much faster that he could have. Oh, of course, there were the fish men guarding the water, so many it was less hidden than impossible to approach unnoticed. In that case, such a huge contraption made perfect sense.<br/><br/>Valspan waited for the group to proceed, wiggling his vines in delight as he wondered what all the new types of females would taste. He'd tasted a few of the males now, and they all seemed even worse than normal males, the salt and brine of living underwater not at all agreeing with his palate, but somehow it tasted like a good seasoning on the females.
