Mobius receives two gifts from Xio. The first is a scrimshaw whistle in the shape of a whale (which is him getting off easy). Xiomara says she is certain the whale who donated the ivory died of natural causes. They're all whale savers here.
The second is a book. It's called Journey into the Wondrous Void, and it has a ship sailing into a lightning storm with sea monster tentacles peeking out of the waves on the front cover. Beneath the cover it's the saga of an attempt to sail across the Amaranthine Ocean while each member of the crew succumbs to a different horrible death, no survivors.
She hasn't read it (obviously) and has no idea what it's about or if it's any good. She bought it just this morning because she's also his Secret Satina and she decided it wasn't right to just give him the same gift she was already going to give him even if she hadn't been.
