There was nothing the great manta could do to help Kaiden with their fishy woes, alas. He was simply too large to shoo them away and he had no power to compel them. He drifted out of the line of sunlight on the rock, pretending not to notice the mershark's merry laughter or the cause for it. If he couldn't aid the other mer, at least he could give them a pretense of dignity.
In the same way he politely didn't mention the discomfort in the bond, letting his own calm serenity soothe the telepathic link as the manta drifted down to swim a slow circle around Kaiden. You are welcome, he said simply, making no larger a deal of it than his companion had.
Finishing his loop, he began to swim away in the direction his guards had gone earlier, but a final thought made him pause. Do you train for combat?
