He didn't growl, instead he sat down and waited, letting them pet him while Aria did her shopping. He didn't let her get too far away from him though. He didn't mind the attention, he always enjoyed the caress of bipeds, they could scratch places he couldn't reach. Even these strangers were welcome as long as they were gentle and non-hostile. When the priestess returned to the boat the wolf followed, padding along patiently after her without hesitation.<br/><br/>Valis blinked when the merfolk he had been speaking to made offers. He wasn't sure what they wanted, but when they pointed to the deep blue ocarina on his hip he frowned. He gently untied it from his hip, holding it in his hands. It had been a gift from the woman he had loved, a birthday present when they were children. It had brought him luck, but in days like this, it only acted as a memento. And he had his memories of her. And even those were painful enough he didn't dare look back too long. Yet still his heart broke at the thought of parting with it, but he didn't let it show on his face. Instead he smiled and held it out to one of the trio that wanted it.<br/><br/>"Take it. Perhaps you could master it in ways I never could." he said, grinning gently. "And in exchange I ask for nothing. Think of this as a sign of friendship between our crew and your people. But I would love to hear you play if we ever find our way back here."
