Water is a mirror, reflecting our strengths and weaknesses, our hopes and fears.
It seems that her words are received well, and Elizabeth nods encouragingly as he works his way through the idea. Smiling, she shrugs her shoulders, a ripple of water spreading out from her movement. "Life is exhausting." So what's a little mental cardio if it'll make things easier? Although she doesn't dare diminish the daunting task, letting him dampen the idea with humor and a soft laugh.
Her head shifts in a small nod at Iskra's question, like any sudden movements might break the fragile glass of the moment. "It can be." Many people choose to torture themselves in the dark or never choose to see the signs for what they are: depression. That's why it's her job to not only help them spark a new lantern, but to see why they should - how it can make their life easier.
Not having any grief to pull from herself, Elizabeth refers to her vast references as she explains, "It's different for everyone. Some people can find the match on their own through practice, but everyone needs help sometimes, and turning to friends or family" she smiles at where Goose lays with his stick still wedged under his jaw, "or companions can help guide you to a light source." Her feet move lazily beneath the water, watching Iskra as she says, "You just have to be willing to seek the assistance, to be honest about your feelings and recognize when you're sitting in that darkness." Which can sometimes be the hardest part.
