my love affair with water runs deep into my soul,
the serenity as intense as the tides ebb and flow
Straightening up, Amun spread his arms in a helpless and hopefully placating gesture. For a moment, sorrow bled into his eyes, and he looked suddenly exhausted. As exhausted as an Ascended, without their need to sleep could look. ”Because that’s all we want. To be treated like people. Not to be feared, or need to be understood, or treated as threats, or monsters, or whatever." Sighing, he slumped against the well. "We're just people. As diverse and different as any other group."
Looking down into the well again, he closed his eyes briefly. "So your fear hurts me. Okay? It sucks to be treated this way by someone I've shown nothing but kindness and patience to, because of things I didn't and have no intention of doing." Turning his head, he opened his eyes. "So yeah, you'll fuck up. You'll still be afraid. All I'm asking is that you make an effort." He pushed off the well and stood up fully again.

nothing is softer or more flexible than water,
yet nothing can resist it
