Arialla nodded at Henry's description of being Attuned. "I became Attuned to serve Safrin ... I've been practicing my shifts, getting accustomed to each form, figuring out how to use them best." She grinned. "Like this, actually."
When she'd reached water deep enough -- chest-high -- she dove forward and became a dolphin, growing blubber and fins as she changed into the sleek grey form. She loved both her shifts, in different ways -- there was something light and cheerful about the dolphin, as if the animal took more joy in its existence than the eagle. Not that the eagle didn't revel in its flight, but the dolphin felt more playful.
As a dolphin, she swam along the shore, looking for anything interesting on the sea floor -- ranging deeper and deeper as she went. She did feel a little guilty for leaving Henry behind, so she resolved to make her trip brief. And then she saw the glint of gold: she wasn't sure what the object was, covered in seaweed and muck as it was, but it was shiny. Grabbing it in her dolphin's beak, she headed back to shore.
