While Shinsha's people took measures to prevent the hostel from sinking, Will or, more accurately, Komal apprised her of what had transpired while he listened attentively with Kluskah.
"Damn...I knew Kataat's ilk were a bunch of black-livered scoundrels, but to think one of his sons would gut the Grotto's Guardian Spirit..." muttered Shinsha, frowning deeply. Kluskah saving Eulucine was good for the latter. However, since she intended to accompany Will to the Dragalia Temple, it left their Grotto short a Guardian Spirit. And without a high-ranking Water Spirit to assist with purification, their reservoir would become increasingly polluted until it could no longer sustain life.
