"Then as soon as I find some, you'll be the first to know."
Shen Yuan looks out on the beach with good humor, though it fades slightly as he takes in the previously unnoticed sight of the black sand and the oddly roiling summer sky. The sand feels strangely firm under his bare feet -- and warm, but not scorchingly hot like he'd have expected. At least that should make it less hazardous for Nehan?
"This way, I think," he finally says, pointing towards a stretch of wet sand and surf that looks nearly the same as any other, but feels right in some way. More magical squid instinct, he hopes, and not just wishful thinking. There are a couple bags lying on the edge of the surf, but he has no idea how he's supposed to tell if any of them are his or not without going over and opening them.
"Is this what it was like for you, when you first got here?" he quietly asks Nehan as the two of them progress down the beach (still keeping half an eye on him for any sign that he's struggling).
