Kisara glowered at Pearl the entire way down to the bottom of the water. She didn't like the sea god's daughter, and the feeling was clearly mutual. She hoped that if it came to a fight . . . well, if what Talion had told them was true, the blue-skinned woman would likely go for him first, rather than the irritating Dynast.<br/><br/>Their arrival at the House of Azure was . . . impressive. She'd seen a lot as a scion of the so-called Princes of the Earth, and this was fairly spectacular. Even the water-aspects didn't really build their homes under the water for the most part, and the ones that did were rarely this impressive - lots of geomancy here, and what a boost it must give His Soggy Majesty.<br/><br/>When the other blue-skinned woman, who was clearly Pearl's sister before she ever spoke, approached and greeted them, Kisara nodded in response. They would damn sure be rewarded. And if it looked like Maur-Azure was going to decide to be unwise, they'd be ready. "Thank you for your hospitality, Lady Wavecrest. The Lady Kersinta eagerly awaits the moment of her meeting with your august father, and we are pleased to be able to deliver her whole into the care of your people." Part of that was true, at least; it didn't mean they wouldn't do their damnedest to wrangle everyone back to the surface if it was needed.<br/><br/>"Is it far to the appointed place? And do you mind if we ask questions on the way?" She looked up at the bubble of air, fish swimming through the water above it and making shadows in the light. "None of us has been in such a place before, and naturally are curious about the marvel."
