Shell yeah. [She titters.] Sounds like all we really need is our Pearls, so we can swing by the Spire, then head over.
[Conveniently for them, the Spire overlooks the ocean, so they can just swing by. They do just that, picking up their Grumpearls and any other supplies they might think of before heading out to the beach.
Once they've made contact with the requester—the enthusiastic and excitable Numel—Shoka is as friendly as ever... Which is to say, not very. Ren will have to forgive her if she isn't terribly talkative with the stranger and leaves most of the schmoozing to him. She keeps a careful eye on him all the while—subtly, she thinks, but if he's sharp, he might notice that she's being a little more watchful than usual. Whatever it is she's searching him for, she doesn't seem to find it, because she eventually does take her focus away from him.
Standoffish though she is, to her credit, Shoka does put her all into the request, shuffling over right to the edge of the shoreline to give Numel a closeup view of the waves lapping at the sands—even when those same waves also lap at the skirt of her disguise.]
How's that?
[It's a simple view, but Numel's excitement is infectious, radiating through her (and Ren) from their psychic connection. With a giggle, she moves along the shoreline, using her long, tentacular arms to hold the Grumpearl high above her head and give Numel more views to appreciate.]
