The slender young woman was less than conversational, gripping hard at the polished rail as though unsteady, or very nervous. Kira's thick accent was difficult for her to decipher. Her dark eyes followed the motion of the fiddle as the experienced sailor pulled the instrument from the case, and a look of excitement softened her features.

[color=39b54a]"Ah! Ehm, I see. Yes, I have a...special skill."[/color] She glanced around to make sure none of the sailors had wandered too close. [color=39b54a]"Some call it Waterspinnind, yes. But I should like not to talk about it too much until it is needed."[/color]

Like most of those who had developed a talent for Magecraft, Jharnia was afraid that being found out would not cast a bright light on her future. She waited for a moment, fascinated by the plucking sounds ringing from the fiddle as Kira turned the knobs to tune each string.

[color=39b54a]"Come close and watch,"[/color] the girl whispered quietly. Using her hands to direct her focus, she held them towards the bowl of seawater. The surface had been calm before, but now rippled, until the entire volume rose up out of the sun-bleached turtle shell. The shells inside were left in the bottom, and some of the water dripped free from the spinning ball, but for the most part it floated up between them, catching the orange light of the setting sun.

Moving both hands independantly, Jharnia separated the blob into two, and then made a tendril of water connect from one to the other before morphing them back together again. After a moment or two more, she lowered it back into the shell bowl where only some of it slopped over the side onto the deck.

[color=39b54a]"I can spin much more. Maybe enough to move a ship, but not for long."[/color] She didn't explain why a skill like hers would be useful. Either she trusted Kira was smart enough to realize it on her own, or she was too nervous to voice her opinion. Lifting on hand to draw her long black ponytail over her shoulder, she toyed with the bands that kept it tight.

[color=39b54a]"I would like to hear you play."[/color]
