Busy with her work moving the sands as she was, Jiao did not notice that the L'ma was specifically moving towards her until the last moment, when she looked up and was confronted with beautiful creature before her; it was so spectacular from this close up she gasped, too overwhelmed to say anything to it's blessing but a simple "Thank you."
Then the creature did not flow up into sky as expected, but slipped back into the ocean - still Jiao felt there was a kind of peace in it's movements and smiled as she watched it descend into the depths, feeling that she had done something important.
