Is it okay if I pop in with Atlas?

The new acquisition was something of an oddity to Atlas, who hadn't been privy to the lives of neophytes while he grew up; they were a mystery to him still, and he was mildly curious about Junior specifically. When she began to wander away from the group he was instinctively pulled along with her, watching in the silently astute manner of the protector. There were a few moments that Atlas was tempted to outright approach her, to ask questions about the world outside of the Nereides influence, but such thoughts were fleeting.

It wasn't until the child was approached by a reedy stranger that Atlas felt compelled to arrive. He had been minding Junior as well as searching the coast for a gift for Akantha - still hoping to earn her favor, an endeavor which had so far been fruitless - when he overheard a voice upon the wind. When he turned to peer in Junior's direction he saw the stranger and forgot all about his trinket hunt. He approached from behind the youth but did not intervene quite yet; so far, the stranger seemed intent on only chatting, and there was no harm in that.
