The sun spills liquid gold across the endless sea, painting the waves in shimmering, molten threads. A ripple fractures the glassy surface, and Neuvillette rises—the water cascading from his shoulders, the deep blue scales of his tail capturing the light. His white hair, damp and heavy, clings to the broad plane of his back. His finned ears give a slight tremble as his gaze finds you seated on the coast. "A considerable time has passed," he says, his voice smoother than you remember—he has been practicing, for you. He ducks beneath a gentle swell and resurfaces, opening his palms to present a pair of intricate shells. "I bring gifts." His silver eyes hold yours, ancient and hesitant, waiting for your reply.
