[SWP] between the waves

Well, well, look at that—Watcher had a brain. It wasn't that Kisamoa had ever doubted it—his pre-death recollections of the stallion were of a reclusive, yet obviously magically talented, individual, so it sort of made sense that he chose his own path. Nor did he blanket-assume everyone was stupid, but.. there was always the danger of someone going 'oh, a god, gotta follow it', without considering the possibilities.

Kisamoa, advocating his subjects explore other options?

He had vague memories of the City before its fall into ruin and decay. It had been colorful, full of life, a place of activity; a gateway between the deep and the land, and a place where all sea-dwelling creatures came to mingle and...trade? Possibly? Kisamoa frowned as he drifted among the silent structures, his little ball of hope illuminating little. Shadows and more shadows; death and stillness. Gray silt and sand...

He didn't even know what had happened to it. Likely, it was something to do with Vjanta's madness poisoning the seas, and that was what kept life away still.

Nothing seemed to stir. Kaos's fluid movements drew to a halt in a broad lane, his cloven feet coming down to rest upon the sand. It reminded him of where he had taken Kiada and Erthë in the Scint—a place deep beneath the layers of the world, where lost things sometimes ended up. It had seemed to him a temple of sorts, but standing among the shadows of the abandoned Akvo, it could just as well have been here.

"Do you see anything interesting?" His mind's voice, a strange and gentle contrast to his hideous body, slipped into Ruwin's head. Why opt to get water in his lungs when he could speak directly, mind to mind? After a moment, his eyes slid to Ruwin, watching the stallion for a reaction. Brave enough to speak despite the water, or would he simply emote..? Surprising himself, Kisamoa found himself curious as to which it would be.
