[SE] Lay this to rest

my love affair with water runs deep into my soul,

the serenity as intense as the tides ebb and flow

Unfortunately for Maea, there wasn't a whole lot of sympathy in Amun's expression. Instead, he continued leaning against the well, just watching her. Finally, he shook his head. "No. Sadly, it's not enough." Turning so he was leaning on both elbows, he stared down the well, his eyes piercing the darkness to easily see the water below. "At least it's not if what you say is true, that you don't want to be afraid. That you're not proud of this part of yourself."

Turning his head, he stared at her. "So. How would you like others to treat you based on your Abandoned status?" The question came out idly, but his eyes were sharp.

nothing is softer or more flexible than water,

yet nothing can resist it
