Kisara's eyes narrowed. Oh, this sea-cow would learn some things before the day was done. She folded her arms over her chest, aware that they were sinking into the water and feeling distressingly heedless about it. Of course, she'd felt pretty unconcerned about a lot of things that might have given her nightmares a few years ago, so maybe that wasn't that good a gauge. "I notice you didn't answer about what would happen to us, oh moist daughter of the sea, but I thank you most courteously for the answers you did have." She carefully didn't mention what a bang-up job His Salinity was doing at holding back the blight of the dead so far.<br/><br/>Course, if you want something done, you've got to do it yourself.<br/><br/>She turned to look at Kersinta, seemingly dismissing the blue-skinned tart. It would be an error to assume that she didn't have an awareness of her - and a bigger error to try and take advantage of that assumption, given how close Talion was. The woman would have a dagger in her ribs before she even got close, and when she did . . . well, and axe to the face would stop a surprising number of things. Over the crowd, she could see Zavros, which meant that he and Mouse were here. While she didn't trust the other woman as far as she could throw her, the bitch was good in a fight.<br/><br/>Lowering her voice, Kisara gave Kersinta a smile. "Again, my lady, give me a sign and we will do what we can to rescue you. I misdoubt these . . . beings have your best interest in mind." She rolled her shoulders, glancing at Talion. "Of course, the agreement will be honored by you going. If they decide to try anything funny, we'll take care of it. Foreign mercenary indeed," she scoffed.<br/><br/>Motion at her feet caught her eye, and she bent, picking up what looked like an octopus from the deck. "My apologies, friend. I'll return you from whence you came." Carefully, delicately, she rolled him up into a reasonable sphere, then turned and chucked him into the water clearly within eyeshot of Pearl. "Beg pardon, Daughter of the Sea, but one of your Most Honored Father's subjects needed help getting home."
