Shell twisted around to look at his rider. He tilted his head sarcastically, a look which both of them had learned means "I'm not impressed." 

[i]Wow![/i], the artist thought. It was really excited about meeting Kaezira. Normally, the most interesting thing this turtle did was when Lumao would open his back to find all the supplies bathed in grass and fish, because apparently Shell is convinced that he can eat food like a real turtle. Nothing will ever change his mind.
