The heavy flapping of wings can be heard and then the Pelican lands nearby. With smiling eyes he looks at the newcomer and croaks, "Hello, we seem to have a new companion. Who is this fuzzy flaming fellow?"
"Am I still burning?" the merchant quickly examines himself. "Okay, no. Thank goodness. I just smell like I'm still burning. That's a relief. Who are you?" He looks back up to the giant pelican.
"I" he leans in and turns his head sideways, "am a Pelican. In fact, I'm the King of Pelicans."
The merchant bows. "I deeply apologize for not recognizing your sovereignty immediately, your majesty." He would probably be sweating with nervousness were he not severely dehydrated.
He chortles, "You need not worry. All Pelicans are Kings and Queens, you needn't bow to every baggy throated seabird you meet. I do not expect those without feathers to be aware of the ways of my people."

"Some meanie who thinks were slavers."
"Oh, we're not? I'll have to get rid of these then." He shudders and gags and then pushes something clanking out of his throat and into his beak pouch. The chain and cuff of a set of rusty manacles dangles outside of his beak and he spits it into the sea where it sinks out of sight.
"We might end up being later, so can you do me a favor?"
"Of course... possibly." the Pelican hops from one flat foot to another, "What would this favor be?"
"We are in need of some eggs. Could you get us some, in any way you can?"
Persuasion check 36
"Eggs? Those are hard to come by at sea. I suppose I could snatch a few from some seagulls..." He then turns his head and squints at you, "I do hope you weren't expecting me to lay an egg for you?"
"Flynn did, but as the king of the Pelicans couldn't you command some pelicans to search far and wide for you?"
"That would be silly. The other Pelicans have better things to do than fetch you breakfast. However, I will find some for you as a friend." He then shoves his bill at Flynn, "Not all birds lay eggs you barnacle brain. I might as well ask you to give birth!"

"That is a valid point. Sorry about the confusion." Flynn is very red in the face and has decided to take a swim along the rowboat.
"Alright. So the plan is to take Douxgras back to the ship, stabilize him, have a good chat over omelettes, and then face all of the other problems we've gotten going for us recently. And Damien, if you call me Nor one more time I am going to push you overboard."

"Flynn did, but as the king of the Pelicans couldn't you command some pelicans to search far and wide for you?"
"Woah woah woah! I was hungry and I just suggested we ask since nobody else on the ship is a bird."
The Pelican shrugs with its wings, "Fair point. It's a shame that too, but completely understandable. Most feathered folk can't stand your lot and for good reason." He shakes his head and then spreads his wings to fly away in search of eggs.

"I thank you for your mercy, milord, but even a mere child or animal deserves respect, let alone a king such as yourself. I've never spoken to a Pelican before, so please excuse my nervousness."

"You're right about the respect due to life which is why I shall bow to you." He bobs his head down low for a moment and then rises up with a smile. Since when can birds smile? "Most folks don't meet Pelicans with a heart capable of speech, but you needn't be nervous. I won't say that I don't bite, but I can assure you that I won't be biting you at this moment."

Around the same time y'all get back to the ship the Pelican lands, coming back from his egg hunt. His throat sack bulges irregularly and something inside is thrashing about.

"Of course not, your Majesty. One should not soil their mouth with tainted flesh such as mine. I pity the mosquito who bites me and dies before she can lay her eggs. My body is filled with spices, which, while delicious, kill weaker creatures and can overwhelm the palate and mind if taken in large enough doses. I've learned to extract them, but in their raw state they are barely edible. I will serve you something in order to explain further, with your permission of course."

"Interesting. You have actually made it much more tempting to bite you, but I will refrain out of courtesy." He laughs a wobbly laugh, "I would be honored to be served a meal by you. My hunger is great but my cooking skills are not. I relish every opportunity I get to try a well made meal that isn't drawn straight from the sea."

"Thank you again, your Majesty. I must rest and resupply before I can feed you. I thank you for your kindness, King of Pelicans." He bows again, then limps onto the ship.
