The water elemental (a wave maiden that Thunder calls Hiyo) quickly and efficiently relays your message to lord Baxishun. It will take the Wise Crab a little while to arrive in person, during which time the water elemental asks if Thunder has any more messages that need to be sent.<br/><br/>If not, then she'll wait on the boat until somebody calls her, or something catches her attention. Such was the nature of water elementals.<br/><br/>When the crab god appears before Thunder, it is in the guise of a fisherman, such as could be found anywhere upon the coasts and shores of the western islands. Not that anyone saw his entrance, but because celebration didn't sound like the kind of purpose that would need his axe or armor.<br/><br/>He does announce his materialization with a simple exhalation and "I've arrived."
