A’ro just shakes her hand lightly noting the symbol on the bag and the ring “Pleasure to meet you Vivien.” He just lets go pulling away the hand as she asks her other questions “No, I learned to read and write from my mom and dad taught me. I also learned on the sea from more educated crew members or passengers when I had the chance. Which leads me into what I do, I am a sailor.”At the mention of being a sailor there is a joy that seeps from his smile and words displaying his passion for the profession.
A’ro just stands up as the shark hunters passes by as she shouts and they ignore her "Yeah, that was not cool."he speaks lightly in primordial as his hand moves lightly as if flicking the wind as the sand in front of the hunters kicks up for a second spraying them in the face
His voice becoming a little stern “HEY! You owe her an apology for ruining her work and ignoring her."

"Hm yes, it would be good to collaborate on ideas. Perhaps we can speak with the hunters later..." She didn't seem to care, or notice, she was being blown off. She gives an appreciative smile to Lieserl, as she adjusts her coat and sash. A good first impression always starts with appearances. Or at least, that's what her parents would always say. Lyla clears her throat, giving herself confidence before striding towards the elf.
"Hello!"The half-elf calls as she approaches, waving. "I see you're interested in the shark as well. What do you make of it? It's so strange."

@A'ro As you fingers dance within your wind, creating a miniature dust storm and throwing towards the shark hunter most of them manage to avoid it but you've managed to throw sand towards a younger member of the shark hunter group who is a young tiefling that suppose to be in his teens, he is lean with a bit of muscled development on his bicep area. rubbing the sand off from his, "Ack... Hey what was that for? I didn't tremble it they did!" He huff in anger towards the both of you, from what you can tell he is the runt of the shark hunter team.
Xan'drila stops when the half-elf talk to her, she is definetly surprised that someone is talking to her.
"Oh hi. Well, that's no ordinary shark. I wanted to see it closer to see if... uh.. that's a friend of yours? He seems that he is going to be in trouble..." she says pointing to the young tiefling facing the genasi.
A'ro turns to Vivien for a second "What's a devil shark, never heard of it?" when the tiefling calls out his attention turns back to the shark hunter as he approaches "Simple, you owe her an apology. You messed up her hard work and then completely ignored her. I get you all are in a hurry, but still doesn't give you the right to just charge through and destroy something someone built."
"A sailor of the seas." She would repeat smiling. "That sounds like so much fun. You know I have some experience with boats, I come from a family that taught me a thing-or-two. Tell me, what places have you visited? Have you ever sailed to Tal'dorei? Marquet?" Her eyes sparkled with excitement past her spectacles.
When A'ro would buffet the teen with sand, she couldn't help but smirk. "Well take that as a warning not to be selfish like your friends! Guilt-by-association, young man!" She'd call out, standing tall and proper.
"Friend? The only ones..." She trails off as well, her attention turning to the brewing argument on the beach. Lyla takes a step towards them, looking back towards Xan'drila. "We should intervene. It wouldn't do to let this get out of hand. And perhaps we can speak with them about the shark."

"Well, for what I've seen those stupid hunters deserve a lesson or two, but either they were really lucky to get that catch or they are more than meets the eye... Either way lead the way, this would be.. interesting" says Xan'drila to Lyla
From what you know according to sailor's first hand experiences and possibly sea monsters attacks on ships that Sahuagin are also known as sea devils, they are scavenger that are known to tear apart ships, raids small costal areas and stealing life stock. as individual they pose no threat but as a group they are deadly and they are known to attack the weakest and the inquired. Whenever you see a Sahuagin RUN!
"I...I didn't know, was following orders from the eldest! didn't mean to destroy your sandcastle. It's just a sandcastle Riiiight?" The tiefling puts his hands up defending himself from those adults. He just following orders while the elders showing off their exotic creature in their hands, as the crowd cheers at them. You see a half elven girl with long blonde hair that is tied into a tight braid, wearing a simple swimsuit rushes towards the tiefling boy as she tries to separate the both of you from further violence.
"Joao are you alright? Those tourist are threating you?" She looks at the both of you A'ro and Vivien, trying to defend her friend from harm.
"Manners young man. Manners." says the elf to the tiefling "Never forget your manners. Specially with strangers. You never know who is the owner of a simple sandcastle... and make yourself responsible for your own actions. Never allow others to appropriate of that."
"Nobody is threating no one"says Xan'drila in a calm, low voice to the woman when she comes "What a rude thing to say. We were just chatting about how important is to reckon the effort of everyone, no matter how small their task could be. For example "she says looking directly at the woman's eyes "Without the dedicated work of the weaver that mends your net, you couldn't had capture such a weird beast. Or without the work of this vigorous young man you couldn't have bring it aboard your boat. A curious catch, congratulations. Where did you catch it? away from the shore I hope..."
@Xan'drila: Based on their appearances and mannerism you can tell them right away that they are pretty young around 13-14 years old, in their teens they are did what they are told by their seniors to carry the creature to shore. You can tell them that they seems to be frighten of you either from your stern voice or a odd aura around you.
"Forgive Joao and my crew, we're new recruits to their shark hunting team and we can't really afford those fancy boats those people have, the prices of boats are getting higher recently due to some... company buying all the boats for something up for the empire up north. We mostly uses what we have currently!" The elven girl points to a sorry excuse for a boat, it's keep people afloat but not in a long run. "We uses spears to hunt them and we dragged them back from shore and mostly likely he caught it away from the shore. It's a tradition from our culture to hunt those sharks and offered it to the Stormlord." She paused for a moment, looking back at the crowed. "Let just say that foreigners take over our tradition and make it into a sport!"
Vivien would start to respond to the young man until a new figure approached, an elven woman. As she spoke, she started to calm down and agree with her statements. When she were to finish, Vivien would start-up again. "I'm not threatening your friend, I was just upset because he was with a group who trampled my sand fortress. A fortress is a structure strictly for defense while a castle has luxury." She'd say, calmed, but she'd look to the young tiefling. "Though you should be more considerate to others in your quest for glory, even if it's the company you keep that doesn't feel that way. You will end up looking as much as a selfish jerk as them, Joao."
As she breathed slower to calm her self, she'd answer. "That was a devil shark. An invasive species to these waters of the Menagerie Coast and highly dangerous. They are creatures usually tamed by the Sahuagin which does make me worry why that shark is around here and if there others with it, sharks or sahuagin. You've seen them around these shores?" She'd ask looking to A'ro the Sailor.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Upon hearing the plight of the young half-elf, Vivien would saunter over to the small boat out of curiousoty as a carpenter whose family made their fortune specializing in boats, her large bag strapped over her shoulder. Inspecting it's craftsmanship and condition. Would there be places of improvement? How long can this boat support shark hunting expeditions? Risk of capsizing?
Lyla perks up at the fellow half-elf's shark knowledge. She looks to the two shark hunters. "These sharks aren't very common around here, are they? Based on how excited you all seem. Were there other sharks like it around where you found it? Or anything that looked different?"

"Run along, you two," Crispin calls out to the two young ship hands. "And be careful of where you run! I'll take care of things here..." Stepping into view of al Crispin offers his best smile, a half shrug and a partial lifting of his hands in a manner intended to say "Kids, what can ya do?"
"On behalf of all scalawags ever, allow me to apologize. I assure you the kids meant no harm... And the adults they follow likely too caught up in their own plans to worry about anyone else's," Crispin Barnaby explains as apologetically as he can. "Not right. Not fair. Both are givens. But those adults... Like as not they'll cause a ruckus rather than offer an apology, no matter how much they know they were wrong. So unless your sand crafting was worth bloodshed, I beg of you accept my apology instead of their's..."
Diplomat wasn't Crispin's usual role, and his words continued to be colored slurring caused by too much alcohol... But it is a beautiful day and most everyone is having fun... Why spoil it?

"Thanks Crispin but please wait" says Xan'drila to the youngest " Do not go yet. Please answer her question. Are those shark common in this shores? I thought it was an extraordinary prey...."
Vivien would look to the new company. "Devil sharks are an invasive species so they should not be common in these waters. They are usually tamed by the sahuagin so I very much wo- what are those?!" Her eyes light up upon viewing Crispin's belt, scampering over and kneeling down, recognizing the clear shape of the holsters and handles from schooling. "May I please inspect one of these?" She'd look up to Crispin as she kneels, trying to be as convincing as possible.
Like Hell, was the first thought to race through Crispin's head as his hand instinctively started going to his weapons. But he restrained himself and looked at the woman asking him. It could have been the obvious curiosity in her voice of the wide, pleading eyes... But in truth it was the swimsuit.
"Su... Sure," he mumbled and drew one of his pistols. He held it in both hands a moment and thing his fingers went to work on it, unloading the bullets from it and double checking that it was indeed empty before he reluctantly handed it over. "Won them in a card game in Port Damali not long ago. Little more practice and I'll be the best there is with this type of weapon!"

She held the pistol with enthusiasm, looking down the barrel as she aimed down at the sand, examining the trigger, she'd smile as she examined every inch of the firearm. "A de Rolo firearm, we never get to hold or handle these in school...!" She states, handing it back to Crispin. "Tell me, do you use rounded bullets, black powder? How curious one would stake these in a card game, they're fairly rare to come by! But excuse me, my name is Vivien Iranapha of Port Damali. I am the second born of the Iranapha family, I'm currently in-school learning of science and engineering!"
Xan'drila, apparently not wanting to interrupt the inspection of the weird things that Crispin were carrying, apparently weapons, takes a few steps to the side to give them space and to be able to keep talking about the demonic sharks.
