To the comments of drylanders wanting more access to the Underwater City he said nothing, but there was a flicker of suspicion in his eyes towards Harper. Jack's suggestion of better communication was given a more thoughtful look, and another slow nod, this time of agreement. "Indeed. I will think on options."
