At the revelation that her shift is new, and is a dolphin, he eyes her with keen, contented interest. He nods thoughtfully at the idea of them being considered lucky, but he's never been inclined toward the ocean - as she'd found out the last time they met - and he certainly isn't privvy to the wildlife in it. Aside from sharks, because fuck those things. "Looks like it gave you some of its luck," he motions to the shiny thing in her hands and that's when he offers to clean it off for her.
He takes it into his hand and uses the bottom of his shirt to scrub it clean. He's not one to grimace at a dirty shirt, being that he's no stranger to hard work, so this is done with zero level of hesitance. Grimy green ocean goo begone! When he lifts the treasure back up toward Arialla, the sunlight reflects off of it very nicely.
"There you go," he offers her another one of his friendly smiles. "Get that ready and we can go hang this stuff up!" He tears a piece of twine for her, should she want to use it.
