[text] there is water at the bottom of the ocean
[Originally, it started out as a well-meaning adventurous foray for personal edification, yadda, yadda, yadda. Time moves so slowly in Hadriel that Nate has been clawing at ways to occupy it, and since he's exhausted the library of any texts that aren't in gibberish it stands to reason he might seek personal fulfillment elsewhere. After waking up with the usual restlessness he considered the wide expanse of lakeside real estate out his window and thought, yeah, a swim sounds nice.
The swim was less than nice.
Several minor explosions and some (honestly) impressive spell-work later sees him soaked to the skin but otherwise unscathed outside of minor lacerations on one arm - there's really only so much you can do when trying to evade a shark with two fucking heads - scribbling quickly in a notebook with the sort of fervor reserved for the truly mad. Lake-adjacent, blessedly on the shore with a towel slung around bare shoulders, he quickly snaps a photograph of his work with his phone and hits SEND TO ALL.
The message is as follows:]
does anyone know what the hell this is
i found it at the bottom of the lake

When she sees him, he looks rode hard and (literally) put up wet.]
Uh, yeah, we knew they were dead, but we didn't know what they looked like.
[Where's your Adventure Spiritβ’οΈ?]
Is it supposed to reassure me that the gods let them get tied up down there? That they let them die?

The gods were under attack too. There's only so much you can do when you're on the edge of death yourself. [Her voice gets a little louder on the last sentence. She can sympathize a lot more than she lets on.]

[Right now, in another conversation entirely, Nate is getting his ass reamed by a god for accidentally coming across some remains and asking people about them. He's a little touchy right now, and may be somewhat less gentle than he would normally.]
Listen, I've seen active war zones. Are we just supposed to sit back and wait for this world to become one?

[...She's still surprised she's on their side, to be honest. She hates being toyed with.]
