As the toys lifted, Saiden grinned. Glancing up, he was incredibly glad to see Ludo there. Nodding at its words, he watched as the toys sailed around them. As the rags lifted up to pull them into it, he gasped in what he hoped was appropriate mock horror and sadness.
Then he shook his head in regret, though his eyes were playful. "They had a good voyage while it lasted." Bowing his head, he made a show of mourning the wooden sailors. "But at least they get to rest with you now." His tone indicated that he didn't think that was the worst fate in the world.
As the god informed him that it had been playing the part of the kraken, the cook's grin came back in full force. "I saw that. You were an excellent kraken." The grin softened into a genuine smile as it blessed his next trip and one of the sailors swooped in for a kiss. "Thank you. Any time." The words carried a deep and abiding gratitude.
He glanced out at the ocean for a moment. "You know, the legends say there's a kraken that lives in the depths of the Maw." Then he looked back at Ludo almost shyly. "I'm sure it's not as good a kraken as you, though."
