The tortle druid follows her gesture towards the waterline, his brow furrowing at her words. It does certainly seem as if this corruption is coming from the ocean, an outcome he did not anticipate, but which seems sensible from what he can see. At her question though, he runs a large shovel like talon beneath his neck, scratching at his thick scales as he considered the question. When he responds, it is, as usual, entirely too much at length.<br/><br/>"Those of my race, if that is your question, do have some small skill in moving beneath the waves. We are not agile swimmers, but we can hold our breaths for extended periods. In my village we like to spend long periods of time in quiet contemplation beneath the waves, collecting various types of spores or algae from beneath the waves. It is a slow and tranquil setting, and I remember well how one such meditation led me towards my current choice of apparel. I was wearing wooden armor, as is a practice of my people when I came to realize that our tortle bodies did not require such armor. Instead I decided to wear long flowing silks, and fashioned such a wrapping my next day. It was a dull gray though, and offended my sensibilities. So I said to myself 'Moss, you must try something brighter if you are to be as daring and colorful as you can be' and thus I resolved to find a proper fabric dye. It was after this that I noticed the bright hue of the goodberries favored by my people, and resolved to use that color in my dying. That is the source of my colored wrappings."<br/><br/>He paused then, smiling warmly to himself as he remembered the experience, before realizing that his discourse was not entirely what the sorcerer had been inquiring about. He shrugged sheepishly though, responding her question in more detail as his eyes turned back to the elf in their midst.<br/><br/>"If you mean druids though, there is a spell of value to those of your disposition, which allows your kind to breath beneath the waves. It is commonly referred to as 'Water Breathing' and while I could cast such a spell at a future time, I am not as yet capable of such a feat. Perhaps our friend who can bond so firmly with foliage could provide a spell of that sort? He seems effective in such a regard anyway."
