The merman was perplexed.
Uncertain what the owl wanted or how to communicate he could only watch the strange, hopping dance. "I am sorry," he rumbled quietly aloud. "I do not know what you want." Lacking any fire magic or mundane means to start one there was little he could do to provide a flame, nor could he see a true fire.
What he could do was use his upgraded water magic to pull the moisture and sea spray away from the rock around the star-eyed avian. He could not affect the wind, but the water, at least, was his. Using his magic to keep the stony beach around them dry he pulled himself up onto the edge of the shore so that he sat in the open air, tail still mostly submerged into the ocean. Extending his hands, he cupped them in a mirror of the owl's wings, offering protection to that which he could not see.
