Visiting Seere had been no new task for Helvil. In fact, she'd been a number of times now, enough that she felt comfortable exploring a little further each time she now went. Well aware of all the speedy ways back to water - or a temporary water source to extend her stay.
But this time she came alone. And this time she had a purpose beyond mere exploration.
After months of research and asking around various ports and seaside villages, she'd finally been given what she sought. A name. A face. One that could, potentially, solve her long-sticking issue: being unable to breathe air like those of the world around her.
Finding him should have been easy enough - as long as she could catch him within a coastal location. While there were elves here, it seemed his demeanour would make him stand out over anything else.
As luck would have it, finding the man became even easier than expected. Water still pooled within each of her steps as she came across a quite conspicuous pair.
The winged woman spotted her first, a surprisingly knowing look in strange eyes. Vi watched as the dragon-like woman leaned closer to her target to whisper in his ear, a gentle push and gesture in her direction. From here, at the angle, Vi could not make out the words spoken.
Uncaring to dwell on this, she stopped a short distance away. Enough to see their faces well, but not feel as if she were threatening them in any way. While sometimes brash, this needed caution and care if she were to get what she desired.

I seek your aid,she signed, a hopeful glint in her eye.
