She has water magic, and we spent some time comparing notes, so to speak. She helped me figure out how to conjure flame.” And honestly, it was just nice to have a girl to talk to.

Turned a toy boat I brought for him into an actual ghost ship, which I admit I did not board. I was not entirely sure where Ludo planned to sail it ‘back’ to.”
