Steel-silver brows rose a few fractions at the polite but steadfast refusal, and Kaisel had the Tidebreaker's full - and curious - attention. He listened with solemn courtesy to the young man's reasoning, and then inclined his head in acceptance of it. "There is truth to that," he agreed, the words chosen with care. Emerald eyes gleamed with that hint of amusement again as he raised his head to consider the Dragoon with approval. "You are quick with languages. A useful talent." In these waters, was it? Rare, for a landwalker to slip so quickly into the mindset of the Mer. He appreciated the effort.
And he appreciated Kaisel's willingness to cut his soak short to play tour guide. He stood - yes, on two legs - and stretched, quietly enjoying the supple slide of muscles given a chance to warm to the point of relaxation. He pulled himself out of the water and began to wipe the wetness from his skin, listening to the young man's pride in his cousin with silent serenity. "Sights will be enough. And hearing what a Dragoon of your rank does." Those like Kaisel would be the ones trained and stationed in other regions, after all.
For the higher details of the operation, he would ask Koa himself when the opportunity arose again.
His skin was still damp as he pulled on his clothes, but the former-Mer did not seem to mind as he inclined his head to Kaisel and gestured towards the exit from the Eye. "Please. Lead the way."
