She blinked, startled at his reaction. But then.... he was a creature of the water. Of course he would find it horrifying to be so far from it, just as any creature without wings would fear to be too far from the ground. Well, almost any creature.
"It's not always dry," she answered, gently. "Have you never looked at the sky and seen the clouds?"

"At the what? And seen what?" Was that an air thing? Out in the dry? Where hair lay limp? He had broken the surface twice, and had been miserable both times.

"The... sky.... the vast thing that looms over the world..." She blinked at him, stunned.

Vast thing that covered the world? Oh, did she mean... "The waves?"

"Ah... no... the sky is above the land as well."

The land? What did he care about that? It was such a small dry thing. "Apparently I never have then," he said flatly, getting a bit bored with this, and distracted by the motion of those things coming out of her back again.

She sighed. "And from your tone, I guess you have no interest in learning more, yes?"

"What are those things coming out of your back?" he asked abruptly. The way the water was moving them was almost... hypnotic. He had an urge to grab one and flee with it, to kill it dead till it stopped moving, then to let the water carry it so that he could chase it again... What in the world was bringing THAT on? he could muss his hair swimming about in such an undignified...did i just twitch?!

"You mean my wings?" Lian asked, suddenly feeling uncomfortable. Why was he watching her feathers so intently?

"Wings?" he asked. "Those twitchy things are called wings?" They moved again!

"Well, the things on my back are called wings. They're covered in feathers."

Feathers. Even the WORD sounded fun. "Can I have them?"

"Have...." wait, what? What was that supposed to mean? "Have my feathers?" Lian asked, keeping her tone calm, even as she pulled herself a little away from him.

He nodded. "Yes, please. If you have any to spare." Ooooh, they moved fun when she backpedaled in water.

"Any... to spare..." she repeated slowly, feeling a bit foolish. She hesitated then nodded. "Alright... I'll give you a few... if you help me to land."
