[Clouds of bubbles drift through the air, shining with iridescent color when the sunlight hits them just right. Shoka doesn't notice right away, focused more on the push and pull of the waves and letting her Grumpearl be washed in the ocean spray—but when Ren calls her and Numel's attention to the sight, she's just as dazzled for a moment, looking up with a quiet, Oh wow.
And then Ren drops his Grumpearl, causing the view to spin and lurch in a way that has Numel calling out in alarm and Shoka glancing his way in concern. He tries his best to walk it off, but she sees. Still, she won't acknowledge it—not now, when they're still with a client.]
Yeah, I got it. Hang tight.
[She looks around for a moment, scanning the shoreline, before making a beeline for the start of the cliffs. Knowing better than to try scaling the whole cliffside, she makes do with a shorter rock formation that juts out over the beach, at an angle overlooking the Krabby below. With her Grumpearl stowed away inside the hollow of her disguise-head, she hops deftly from ledge to ledge until she reaches the top, then fishes the Grumpearl back out to share her view with Numel (and Ren).
Numel is treated to a dual view of it all then: Ren's perspective from the beach, showing the Krabby on their rock perches and the dazzlingly close glitter of the bubbles and waves, and Shoka's from above, showing the far stretch of the ocean and the sun reflected on its surface, blanketed by the scattering bubbles.
Ren was right; it is a stunning sight. Numel gives audible ooh's and aah's, but the waves of amazement being carried through the Grumpearl aren't just Numel's.]
Gotta admit... I've never seen anything like this either.
[Her voice sounds a bit distant; through their psychic connection, there's the briefest twinge of uncertainty, but it's quickly overwhelmed by joy. As the moments tick by and Numel yammers through his excitement, she senses that they've probably found the best view to end the day with.]

You okay down there, Ren?
