We'll have to see. We don't exactly look like the royal guard, I feel like, so that might give us an edge.

[Momo's eyes are scanning the surroundings sharply, following shapes that become visible in the distant water but leaving them when it becomes more obvious that they're small fish, debris or otherwise not what they're looking for. There is a small school of fish heading vaguely in their direction, though, and Momo points them out.]

Do we want to try asking them? If they're coming this way anyway, we've probably not got much to lose.

[Except time, but the princess already has a significant headstart on them, so it's unlikely to make much more difference.]
