Jaina had trouble understanding why people were afraid of the sea.

Well, that's not quite right; she knew full well that the sea was large, cold, salty, and filled with sea monsters. That the storm clouds were vast, some of them bigger than entire towns on land. But such immensity was humbling, even to the children of royalty, and the cool sea breeze brought comfort in a sunny day such as this one. 

Jaina was a Daugther of the Sea, comfortable with the salt spray and the smell of fish both fresh and rotten. Eeels were a delight when stewed, shellfish a delicacy. Shrimps were great when peeled and seaweed a vital component in various condiments. And while the docks and fishmongers stank to high heaven, the Daugther of the Sea remembered that the finest of perfumes came from ambergris from the stomachs of whales and sea serpents.

Besides, what was life without a bit of thrills?

Attempting interaction with Shinra, Jaina spoke to the young man, "So, Shinra, how are we going to find the terrorists? I presume we're going to use the classic tactic of asking around in taverns and seaside pubs, or do you have a contact somewhere?"

Then she turned towards Regina, trying to stamp down her suspicion of 'livestreamers' and 'influencers' and give her the benefit of the doubt, and said, "And Regina... I hate to ask, but how well can you hold yourself in a fight? I don't watch many livestreams, you see, so I am completely blind to what you can do - Are you a Celestial Spirit Mage? Or do you have Archive Magic? Or maybe you're some sort of badass Requip-er..."

It occured to her that she might be prying or offending, so she turned towards Shinra and Regina and relaxed her shoulders, saying, "Sorry if I'm rambling; I'll make it up to you by treating you guys to some of the best soft-shelled crabs in town once this is all over!"

[i]Note to myself. Lower collateral damage or pay for the costs of collateral damage from my own pocket; I do not want to get thrown out of restuarants and snack bars or yelled at by street food vendors. That and my comrades' reputation matters to me as well - My True Companions should not be laboring under an unfriendly reputation as 'destructive saviors'...[/i]
