<span class="mu-b">"-huagh! Feel that air!"</span>
After the chance to recover for several days in your natural environment, you've healed and ready as ever to act. So at your own comfortable pace you began the slow ascent from sea floor to surface. Not that you're at risk of dying from decompression... probably... but it's quite unpleasant and painful, so you avoid it it when you can.
Maybe more important though, it gives you a slower chance to adjust to light once again, after having gone so long in darkness. A chance as well to adjust to the increasing abundance of sea life compared with the abyss. Of course no depth is beyond you, but your own personal preference is relatively closer to the surface.
Of course the biggest adjustment of all, is breathing air rather than water, when you finally reach the surface.
<span class="mu-b">"What... what kind of... boat is that?"</span>
It's a great shock to you in fact, making use of your lungs once more compared to having gone with your gills for so long. But it is a welcome shock, like exercising a muscle you haven't in a long time, feeling your chest swell with air. A different feeling, a good feeling, divine blessing that you are able to know both. And not just the air within but without as well, feeling it against your skin now that out of the water finally... your upper half at least, as you bob along on the surface.
Feel the air, feel the waves... feel the sun of course! So bright, you almost forgot that- wait what is that?
<span class="mu-b">"No oars? They must have some sorcerer on board!"</span>
It's some time appreciating the surface, but your attention eventually settles on a vessel less than a league away. A strange vessel from what you can spy of it, though to draw too close would get you noticed of course.
