"Only briefly," he admitted to the manta rays. "And recently, from a distance. I never saw a true coast on my world, so all the ocean creatures are somewhat new to me." He slanted a wry glance between both Ronins. "I don't expect you to teach me everything about them all, but the ones that have unusual abilities or powers would be good to know in advance. This gem, now..."
He admired the creature behind Ronin, and the gem in its forehead. "Can you remove it without hurting them?" he asked curiously. "For that matter, are they edible?"
