And yet, from everything I’d seen of her reactions, it seemed like that was exactly what’d happened. She’d never heard of dehaians. She had no idea how she’d stayed on land this long.

Maybe she’d come around and we could talk about whatever it was she’d done to the water, and about how she’d managed to remain on land all these years in a place none of us could even reach.
