Kaladin shivered. The last thing that creature needs is another mark on the death tally, Selkie... But alright. You've never given me reason not to trust you.

Sonic shrugged. "I dunno."

Selkie lead him to Tails house and slipped in, Echinda see.

"Where did the otter go," Ajal asked.

Sonic waved a hand over in the general area it disappered to.

Kaladin's eyes went big with shock. Great spirit of Tikal... He mummbled, voice wispy and weak sounding. He took a knee and dipped his head.

Selkie looked confused then noticed the mark and did the same, Who's Tikal?

Ajal sniffed around the area.

Pacachamac's daughter? The young princess who stopped Perfect Chaos? No shame if you don't remember; That day was quite nerve racking... Kaladin replied, voice still much too soft. But Chaos, I didn't think... they actually managed to hold out this long.

Sonic searched up and down the shore with a bit of high-speed recon.

The otter had slipped back in the water.

Uhh well I umm wasn't there that day. I was checking up Skipper's descent. Selkie admitted.I'm sorry I should have been there to help.

You couldn't have done anything, Selkie. I'm actually quite glad you didn't see it. You though Black Beard was bad? What happened there, on Angel Island w-was-- He broke off here, on the verge of tears, then blinked them away. Ah, we can discuss that later. He looked over at Knuckles again. ...He has the look of a fledged Guardian, but he's very young. Amory wasn't finished with training until he was twenty at least.

Sonic frowned. "Hey!!" He called after it, uselessly.

The otter surface for a second to open a clam shell.

Selkie frowned not speaking.

Kaladin eyed the echidna a moment longer, then sighed. Too many questions, but no words to ask them. He mummbled. Ah, well, I suppose we shouldn't linger too long.

Sonic looked at it expectantly. "Uhm, hello out there!" He called out to the otter.

The otter looked at him then debated.

Ajal used this chance to sneak away.


Selkie nodded still deep in thought.
