Re: Desperate Battle
Swimming over the aquatic city, Lyla looked all around, at the dome- and shell-like buildings, at the Sedrians going about their day and reacting to the incident with Karak. She was closely observing Sedrian culture and society to learn what she could, out of curiosity and respect, as well as a keen appreciation of the potential dangers of dealing with an unfamiliar, alien society.
Seeing lots of Sedrians up close, Lyla could see the gills fluttering on their sides through the fur, and was impressed that they had both lungs and gills, which seemed a rare feature in aquatic species. They could breathe in both air and water. She had a theory the Sedrians' ancestors had evolved on land, before the seas had risen and they'd returned to the water, evolving fins, flukes, and gills, but they'd not yet lost those hands and lungs.
'Thank you.' she said to Pek, before he swam off and left them alone in this "inn". It seemed a place for all to stay, but there was no reception or innkeeper. Apparently it was a DIY hostel, not a business. Perhaps city authorities organised this for citizens or visitors, which seemed nice of them.
'Lyla to Alabak's Gold. Pek took us to wait in an inn before we meet the big boss. So far, everything looks okay. Over.' she updated the crew on the ship. Lyla let herself drift until she rested against a wall. 'What do you think?' she asked Rynn and Jason for their thoughts.
