Once Ariel and Sabine headed to shore, Ahnasha decided to swim back as well to rejoin Fendros. He had been watching Rhazii for a while, so she supposed it was his turn to swim again. She sat down in the shallow water beside him, with Rhazii between them. "So, you two enjoying yourselves? Thanks for watching him; you can go and swim for a while if you like, unless you would rather just stay here." She said, putting her arm around him and giving him a kiss on the cheek. 

It was not long after the others climbed out of the water that Lorag returned to shore as well. As he walked past Ahnasha, Fendros, and Rhazii, he stopped just on the edge of the shore and glanced down at them. "Figures that everyone would leave me all alone without even a word." 

"Well, if you would actually [i]say[/i] a word every now and then, people might remember to talk to you." Ahnasha commented.

Lorag crossed his arms. "Hmph, I'm plenty talkative."

"Yeah, as talkative as a mute." She chuckled, though her expression became a bit more inquisitive as a thought popped into her mind. "Although...in all seriousness, I have noticed you have been especially quiet for, well, at least a month or two by now, since I'm thinking about it. What's going on?" 

For a brief moment, Lorag actually seemed to show a bit of concern in his expression, but he quickly pushed it aside and answered dismissively. "Whatever." He said before looking at Rhazii and speaking up, as if to dispell Ahnasha's observation. "So, what's your little puppykitten up to?" 

Kaleeth just barely caught a glimpse of the ray before it was out of sight, so to her, the large fish was just a mysterious plume of sand. It captured her curiosity, but also gave her a healthy amount of worry. Ariel said there were dangers in the ocean, so she decided it would probably be best to defer to Janius to take the lead. While the field of kelp felt strangely smooth against her scales, she quickly found that it wasn't to interesting in itself, though she supposed it might hide some other kinds of creatures. Still, she had no idea what to look for. It was one of the rare instances where Janius actually had more experience with a body of water than herself. 

Since Humans could not hear properly underwater, she tried to find some other way to communicate to him to take the lead. She had not planned out ways to communicate, however, so she just ended up staring at him expectantly, as if doing so would somehow tell him her thoughts.
