[ staaaares. ]

You’re from the sea? The ocean? Water?

[ …

he isn’t sure if he wants to think of thorns as his people. he isn’t mentally ready for this. ]

[oversea]

Well, it's complicated. It's not really possible to live in the sea with the Seaborn infesting it.

[ there's a pause. ]

But yes, that is where my people is from.

[glub]

The Seaborn, what are they? Are they different from your people?

[ serious all of sudden if just because he understands how it feels to lose the place you should be able to return to. ]

[oversea]

They're a species of sea creatures that exist as a hivemind. They only care about their own survival and evolving, so they try to assimilate others into their hivemind.

[ he gestures at himself. ]

Aegir are especially weak to their assimilation.

[glub]

That must have been hard. [ he does squeeze thorns' hand.

sounds like what humans are to rafayel. ]

I think I understand... [ how it feels. but, as for the why thorns sucks as compliments, no understanding. no sympathy. ] Is this why you didn't sound too committed when I asked you about the sea?

[oversea]

Mm. I was never a fan of being told what my connection to something was.

[ to the sea, to his country... it seemed impersonal. ]

But I've recently made my own connection to it.

[glub]

The ocean doesn't forget the people that are a part of it. While it can be cruel and unpredictable, it can also be generous. So maybe it was fate you'd reforge that connection. [ ... ]

Are you always so rebellious?

[oversea]

It's only rebellion depending on what side you're looking from.

[ so, yes. ]

Still need a compliment?

[glub]

Said every rebellious person ever.

[ :) ]

What, you think you can actually give one? Knowing you it'd be something like "wow, the shape of your head is like sooo symmetrical, or you are not short."

[oversea]

You are those things...

[glub]

So are you?

[ so is that a compliment? think about this thorns... ]
