Her words did not go unnoticed. She was just as confused as he was about the strange things happening around them. What they meant, he wasn't sure and he wasn't going to lead her on and act like he knew anything about it. "I don't know...maybe it's something that happens every few years...?" He could only guess, right? After all, they were both roughly the same age.

He approached the water's edge, pausing near where she stood as he investigated the shallow water. He wasn't quite ready to touch it yet, but when he spotted something glowing a little brighter just a few feet ahead, he couldn't help but be curious. "Do you see that?" He murmured, pointing to a glowing spot in the water just past where the waves became shallow. Curiosity got the better of him and the male threw caution to the wind as he dipped his feet in the bioluminescent water, slowly taking the few steps he needed to the spot he was looking at.

He gently put the shell down and shook his head free of the cold water, though some bits of his fur glowed now where he had gotten wet. "Damn, that's cold! But look at this," He pawed the conch shell, turning it over so that the small cluster of crystals was turned up for them to inspect.
