my love affair with water runs deep into my soul,
the serenity as intense as the tides ebb and flow
Looking up, and then further up, because Amun still was surprised at the height difference between the two of them at times, he smirked at Sunjata. "I don't see why not. Isn't this place charming?" The potter gestured at the cobwebbed, dusty, and half-rotted or broken containers that had been sealed in. "Sure, it's a bit of a fixer-upper, it might need a new paint job and some repairs, but with enough work this place could be positively cozy. Lucky we've got a handyman and the head of the Art-isan's Guild here, right."
Taking a deep breath, he straightened his shoulders. Bracing against the lid of the coffin, he didn't begin pushing just yet. Instead, he merely took another scan of the interior. "Spirits of this place, we do not mean to disturb your rest. We merely wish to know more about you so that we can learn your story and share it with the world." He waited until the last echoes of his voice died away. Then, with Zhanshi at his heels, the Ascended started to help the Flood open the coffin.
The sound of stone screeching on stone filled the air where Amun's words had just been. Slowly, a crack appeared as they shifted the top to the side. Standing on his tiptoes, he peered at the remains that were slowly being revealed to his enhanced vision.

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