my love affair with water runs deep into my soul,
the serenity as intense as the tides ebb and flow
Amun took a slight step back, happy to let Maea lead the way with the prayers on her own soon-to-be former farm. As she spoke, he kept his head bowed slightly. When she paused, he glanced at her, but said nothing.
Thankfully, she resumed the prayer soon enough. When she fell silent again, he raised his head. "To all those who watch over us, we give our thanks." It came out quietly, almost reverently.
Turning to face her more fully, he grinned. It was one of his old grins, the one that gave him more than a bit of an air of mischief around him. "Thank you, for making the offering with me. And for your patience, and making an effort to overcome your fears." He was legitimately genuine about his gratitude.
"However, I've taken up far too much of your time already, and I imagine you've got your fire to tend to and your cleaning to get on with." He doffed an imaginary cap at her. "If you have more questions, though, feel free to swing by the studio any time." With that, he gave her a cheerful wave, before turning to walk away, whistling a jaunty tune as he did.

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