It had been a few days since Moana had broken free from their chrysalis, and already the orca calf was filling out, growing stronger and swifter - though with how she focused on play and fun, this power went completely unnoticed. Whistles and clicks echoed through the underground tunnels of Origin as Moana swam, following Eeya's swiftly moving shadow through the currents. The dolphin was their savior, in her eyes; after all, who knew how long she would've been trapped in that silver-blue shell, bashing against the walls and crying out for help? This trust led her after the other sea creature, leaving behind her... brother? Friend? Arrh, with the strange land beast, Bartos. The orca twirled through the water, clicking happily as it began to cool the closer they got to... well, wherever they were going!

It wasn't long before the tunnel's end came into view, a brilliant beam of light piercing the darkness. Moana hurried towards it, passing by Eeya in her rush, breaching the surface of where the tunnel had connected with a great splash. The aerial view was not much help, and the calf hurtled back to the water, plopping down with an elated click. Wherever they were, it had tons of water, and other, smaller swimming things! Curious, Moana watched the other beasts, though they didn't seem smart enough to watch her back. Bemused milky eyes turned back to their dolphin guide. "Ee ah?" A blink, and an excited whistle later, "Eki areeh kiaa ah? E eekii? Aakii?"

@Eeya

After he'd rescued the little one from the cocoon he'd lead her straight back to Pisces. He was eager that she get to know his land critter friends and learn all about being a Maji Walezian! Moreover there was a wedding and he wanted to make some contributions by putting on a show! If he had Moana then that would be twice the sea critters to put on a lovely little show! It made him excited just thinking about it!

He could hear the clicking of the orca behind him as she followed along behind. He stayed just in front, sending off his own clicks to make sure that they stayed in constant communication. It was nice having someone who could talk just as he did and communicate in the same fashion. It was something he hadn't known that he'd miss.

He felt and then saw when Moana brushed past him towards the surface and he gave a giggle at her excitement. Right after her he burst from the surface and made a huge splash in case any of the land critters were around. Eeya had returned!

When he was back under the water he turned to the eager young orca with a smile on his beak. "Rik rik!" He whistled with amusement in his voice. "Ar e Pisces! Areeh kiaa ah!" He pointed his beak up towards the surface and flicked it once towards the waves above them. An indication to swim upwards. He went in front of her and popped his head up above the water and looked around but there didn't seem to be anyone out at the moment. "Kir! Iiiraa aakiiiee kiaa ah! Pisces e Maajiii Waleeziiii aaiee!" He turned to Moana with a grin. The younger sea critter might have questions about Maji Walezi, no doubt, but he still had the other questions to address. "Moana eki kiaa ah ooa iiiraa, iiiraa kiiikih! Ooaara! Io kianoookoo." After he spoke his with his whistling voice he paused and shook his head. "Rik... Rik heerooo eekiiiee." Then he gave another smile and a laugh. "Ii, Eeya i Moana eeekiikii-keiaa iiiraa aaaak!"

"Pisces?" The word was foreign, strange, not of the sea, and Moana made a face as she tried to work it past her lips. "Koo kiaa ah?" The orca followed Eeya's directions, rising up to the surface alongside the dolphin, black and white pelt stark against the water. They listened intently, clicking along with what the older sea creature said, trying to remember the strange land words. "Majiii Waleeeeezi," she repeated, voice odd and warbling. They didn't know what these words meant, but they had to be titles, and they were obviously important to her dolphin friend, so Moana made a point to try and absorb them.

At the offer of staying here with Eeya, of having a home and a friend, Moana nodded vigorously, letting out a tiny orchestra of happy whistles and clicks. "Moana kiaa ah Eeya!" Oh yes, that suited the calf just fine, and, elated, they spiraled down into the water again, only to rocket towards the surface, pushing up and out of the pool with a playful whistle, crashing back down with a huge plume of bubbles. Still she spun and danced, nudging against Eeya as she passed, giggling in delight. Finally settling down, they peeked up out of the watery world once again, milky eyes roving about the topside of Pisces. "Aakii?"

He bobbed his head up and down at the inquiry in a yes. He did live here and he loved it! Meetings and friends and getting to scout! It was all good fun! "Kir! Kiaaareeh ah! Iiiraa aaaak!" He whistled out delightedly. "Kir kir! Moana i Eeya eeekiikiiheiaa iiiraa aaaak!" He confirmed happily.

At the question about the sea critters Eeya looked around and then tilted his head questioningly. "Ekaaaiii. Eeya eeekiiahkeiaa!" With that he took a breath and let out a loud piercing whistle from his blowhole, hoping to call some of the Maji Walezi members.
