my love affair with water runs deep into my soul,
the serenity as intense as the tides ebb and flow
Pausing, Amun nodded to Maea. For a moment, he grimaced and rubbed the back of his head. "You're right. I hadn't initially planned for it to take place during LongNight, but if it does we should honor those who lost their lives." He breathed out a long sigh. "We had simply been hoping for something festive to attract people and dispel some of the gloom in the Hollowed Ground. No harm was intended." Still, he inclined his head to her.
"What's confusing about that?" He shot her a grin before reaching out a hand to lean on the nearest rock. As he took in her appearance, and Zhanshi surfaced to nibble on the potter's boots, though, Amun frowned.
"I'm fine. Trust me. I encountered a spirit that made me feel as if I was dying. I thought there was some trick, some way to escape, by proving my faith, so I threw myself into a magical bonfire that was present. It was just an illusion, though, no matter how real it felt." He shrugged and felt one corner of his mouth twitch upwards in a smirk. Pushing off the stone, he walked over to her and slung his arm over her shoulders.

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