[Altair already had enough on his plate with distracting himself from the terrifying, watery prison they were stuck in. Unfortunately he didn't have a choice if he wanted to protect the shark and he turned back the creature with a small sigh. This would be a lot easier if he could speak to it. Instead he hesitantly held his hand up.]

[Yes he knows this is a longshot but it will help him figure out how intelligent the shark is, hopefully. He has never worked with animals before. He looked up with Wanderer's question.]

Didn't you listen to the fox?

[Caring for the sake of surviving was exactly right but Altair didn't feel like explaining everything to him.]
