Tyrius followed along, walking towards the beach with a apprehensive feeling. He remembered what it was like the last time, with the incident of Cyne's funeral still fresh in their minds. Holding Bookwyrm's bag close to him, Tyrius listened to Valerie and almost said that it was better she were free and they take the risk but Ander managed to say it a lot more eloquently than Tyrius could've managed. Still, Tyrius pulled out a thin strip of wire and carefully invoked Message, speaking right into Valerie's mind. "It is. We take an equal risk every time I cast magic, remember?" said Tyrius into Valerie's mind, "You'll be fine, you're with friends."
After Eliza informed them of what the pearl was capable of, Tyrius couldn't help but point it out, "Except this is The Sea's property?" said Tyrius, "All we've done is collect stolen goods and we're returning them to their rightful owner. Admittedly under duress - but that's still what we're doing with it."
With Clingy as he was so affectionately called bounding into the water, Tyrius had a sudden moment of terror. What if The Sea overwhelmed Clingy and destroyed him. Hearing Benito's whinge, Tyrius just watched carefully, not able to see very much beyond the lantern light. As The Sea rose up out of the water, Tyrius had a momentary urge to step backwards a little. As The Sea spoke about her nature, Tyrius bit his tongue. He had his own view on what she'd just said but he did not think it would benefit anyone to give it voice. With Lestone walking out of the sea carrying the corpse of Cyne De'Porthca, Tyrius winced as Benito kicked off again. With the amount of control The Sea was exhibiting of water, Tyrius had little doubt she could easily drown all of them within seconds if she so chose.
Tyrius bowed his head a little as The Sea explained her reasoning around Benito, feeling apprehensive. He'd been on the verge of offering himself to spare any more lives being destroyed, but Benito had beaten him to the punch. As it was, such an offer seemed unnecessary with hindsight. The Sea's rebuke about the nobles of Porthca unnerved him a little. Tyrius was no fool - he knew not every noble family in the plains had been given land and title for services rendered by some legendary ancestor.
As Valerie started speaking, Tyrius winced. 'Please Val, please don't fuck this up.' thought Tyrius.
"I believe what my friend is trying to say," interrupted Tyrius, "is that retrieving stolen property was a costly endeavour, but that we're keen to ensure no more loss of life among the citizens of Porthca." said Tyrius, putting particular emphasis on the words 'stolen property'. "I think what my friend is trying to determine is that in retrieving Lord Cyne, we are not risking adding more bodies to the De'Porthca crypt for one thing, and no more dead citizens of Porthca for another."
