Sea Lion Shores what's the use of stacking on every failure, another stone

Seal was a delicacy of the Nereides, and their pups especially; she considered for a moment whether the taste of it would be worth the spar to get it. Its meat would certainly lift the spirits of her followers, for they hadn't yet found the glowing shores that would be their home... but they could use more followers over meat, and perhaps the fact that this stranger had been blessed with such rare prey was a sign from the Sea.

Aktaie took a cautious step forward, her eyes pointedly focused on neither the seal or the stranger directly. She paused when she drew closer, though there was a respectable distance between them. After a moment, after they had considered each other in both appearance in scent, she told the other, "The Sea has blessed you." It was said with certainty, with authority; but the kind that was soft and honest.
