Actually Tynan had not been aware of the armor. He'd been hanging with some odd fellows (http://www.stuffoflegend.com/Ambar/02Characters/Incarnates/Gobbah/deepone_bw.jpg)lately, you see, so physical differences really didn't register anymore when your cousin looks like half a shark. The human just hadn't registered as fae.

Tynan pulled the water away from his opponents and to him, wrapping himself in it... hoping to try to exchange himself (http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Ninja_Art:_Water_Replacement) for it in whatever magic this was pulling him.
