Arden Finch

"Oh yeah, like...I don't pretend like I could survive ten minutes out on the sea if it felt like being rowdy, but that's...kinda why I love it? It's wild and untameable, it can be anything at any moment, and those storm that can kill you are kinda .. glorious in their fury. Chaotic and untethered."

Arden, your Elemental was showing.

"Like, have you ever considered a forest fire compared to the ocean?" she asked. "Fire eats and is changed by what it eats. It gets bigger and more ferocious, but when it runs out, it dwindles and dies, leaving signs of its passing and devastation behind. When the ocean eats, it remains unchanged. It could devour a whole fleet of ships and when they're gone, there's no sign they were ever there, and the sea is just exactly as it was before."

She shook her head, realizing that she'd probably come across as a complete weirdo. "Error, I just think that's really cool," she added lamely. "Sorry, I kinda talked over you. You like the mystery of its um, unfathomable vastness? Or something else?"
