In his peripheral vision Marrow spotted a bright pink flash head towards him. The sight deeply startled him, and he jumped in shock as his brain tried to process the object or sea creature heading towards him . When he could finally make out the figure he winced at his own bodies natural reaction. The pink flash was not dangerous at all, but was the small pink seathi that he had been nervously waiting for. However he would never admit to the little seathi that she had startled him. After all she was quite tinny compared to him and he didn't want her to think his natural reflexes had made him act in a cowardly fashion. Getting over the strange manner of her sudden arrival, Marrow was pleased to see the shell in her mouth. He had bemoaned it's loss earlier in the day and part of him believed that his special shell was going to be lost from him forever. His though were still in a tangle. He had feared by asking the seathi for help he had doomed her. While she was in the rock crevice his heart loudly thumped as panic filled his head.While the shell was quite precious to him, it's retrieval was not important if it caused another sea creature to come to harm. Marrow did not have a disposition that allowed him to easily ask others for help. He did not like to ask others for favors for personal gains. Asking for himself made him very uncomfortable, though he had never had trouble asking for help in regards to the welfare of other sea creatures. Asking for help made him feel unsettled and he had been uncomfortable asking the little seathi for help. However desperation had made him bend his usual rules. When the little seathi was retrieving his shell, every second was torture. His mind had been flooded with images of her being stuck between the rocks. While his shell might be a precious memento, it's retrieval was not worth the price of any sea creature hurting itself trying to retrieve the object. However, it seemed like Marrow would not have to let his guilt eat away at him. The pink colored female was unharmed and seemed to be bursting with energy. She was staring intently at Marrow, with a face flushed red with blood. Her eyes seemed to glitter and her fins hurriedly wiggled. Marrow was a bit confused by her behavior and he tried to wrap his brain around her thought process. Was she expecting him to pay her or grant her a boon? Marrow was not stingy, if the female was waiting for a payment he would give her some pearls that he had collected from shelled mollusks that had grown weary of the irritant. Marrow even had a few land based gems that he had gained in a trade. However if the female was not looking for payment, would he insult her by offering a item as repayment for services?
