[Despite the mild panic that Gwen's reaction had induced, Wei Wuxian finds himself examining the creatures with equal awe and wonder.

They're beautiful. Powerful and terrifying, absolutely, but stunning nonetheless. To Gwen's words he only nods, eyes never leaving the pod of them. He's seen so many sea creatures in their time here and still something about these ones sets them apart, and the knowledge of their intelligence and skill only serves to heighten that. After several moments of awed silence pass, he leans in close to Gwen to speak quietly.]

They're wonderful.

〈 the hand on wei wuxian's arm slides across his chest. gwen's head comes to rest over his shoulder, her front pressing lightly against his back. 〉

Yeah. 〈 she echoes his amazement back to him. 〉 They really are.

〈 safely invisible (do killer whales have a good sense of smell? it feels like they should, which is a concern, but for the moment—safely invisible), gwen has seized the once in a lifetime opportunity to observe a pod in the wild. the calf drifts from its mother's side and closer to the juvenile—an older sibling, maybe?—who gently noses it. with an excitable beat of its tail, the calf returns to its mother, who remained nearby, in order to nurse. the other adults are all patiently tolerant of the calf. rather than continue, they seem to settle in the area, some curiously investigating the rocks nearby.

if there is an upper limit to the amount of video and photos the earpieces can take, gwen is about to find out.

gwen drags her fingers down lightly to find his wrist. as much as she hates to leave, their time here is up. 〉

Come on, 〈 she whispers. 〉 Before your talisman is used up. I don't generally approve of violence, but I refuse to fight killer whales on principle. If they eat me, I'm cool with it. They caught me slipping.

[With a soft snort, he nods, giving the pod of killer whales one last look before turning to follow Gwen and continue their journey on.]
