Either way, it will still involve a learning process. Then slow and steady they move forward. As long as they keep moving towards the secret shadowpassage Maeve had remembered from the map. Dio follows Maeve's instructions to the point. Maeve keeps at Dio's side and let her determine the speed. She make sure Dio can get a good view at this animal form from all sides.

Dirk takes one and asks "So what brings you down the the docks? Besides questioning me about my travel plans?"
He smiles a bit.

Dio and Maeve swim their way up the coast towards what M remembers from the map.

Coming near to the point the where the shadow path starts Maeve starts to look for the entry point of the shadow path as it was indicated on the map.

Dio still following Maeve sticks close to her. By now having gotten more used to the dhape and the movement to swim comfortably through the waters.

"If this conversation were happening between any other people besides you and me then yes I would consider it a social meeting but we both know better don't we? And as you can see my ship is in no condition to brave the storms. So Aunt Flora is spared annoyance for a few more days at least."
Dirk's smile never falters. "So how are you today?"

#s://i~ibb~co/28Y9wNs/Calvera~jpg Calvera grunts. "Days, eh? I was told that you are a better sailor than that. And more adept with the Pattern too. Still, in these times, one can't be overly cautious."He looks over the ship's crew with a skeptical eye. "I now see the need for delay. I can recommend some fine tars to you; experienced hands from the navy. Most served under your father in the old days."

Maeve and Dio continue to search for the proper location to enter the shadow path.

Maeve raises her Logrus lens and and looks for the shadow path, traces of shadow. A Shadow path from Amber into the GC connects the real world with shadow. It is a rift in the veil between Amber and shadows and therefore contains traces of shadow.

Sensing that Maeve is using her Logrus lens Dio while safely floating decides to do the same thing. Two pair of eyes see more then one.
She scans from the surface of the water and a bit below. Trying to triangulate with difference in traces where the path might be.

"See, I have a problem here, cousin. I could use the help but I don't trust you. I hear you don't like pirates and I used to be one. I am torn between working with men who served my father and not wanting spies aboard."
Dirk sighs softly. "I suppose, I'll have to take my chances. I do have marriage plans I need to avoid. Plus you want to purge the navy of people who were loyal to my father and might not e loyal to you."

#s://i~ibb~co/28Y9wNs/Calvera~jpg Dirk:"If you are loyal to Amber then what possible use could there be for a spy in your crew?
"You object to marrying one of the Motius twins? You have no interest in mansions, luxury, and servants always at your beck and call?
"You are right about the loyalty issue. I need sailors who are loyal to the living and not the dead. Your taking on a few of them helps us both out."

Using the lens they can see the place where the shadow path begins.

Dio gestures to it. Assuming Maeve sees it as well.
"You lead i'll follow." She gets ready for the next part of their swim.
