One of the Lunae finishes explaining the myths of this strange hour as Kahlil stands on the deck near the railing, watching the first of the glowing jellies breach the water and float upward. In the distance he can start to see the forms of larger creatures beginning to emerge, the whale-like creatures lined in golden light. They glide in the air as effortlessly as if in water, and it's not hard to believe that they once made a home in the skies.

Do they remember this in their bones?

He's quiet for a long while as others nearby on the ship's deck seem to hold their breath too, just watching.

After some minutes he takes a step back from the railing when someone much shorter approaches, allowing them the space to get a better look -

"Inej?" Surprise flickers across his features, replaced upon recognition with with a wide smile.
