2. this is me reassuring you that I'm still alive and making sure you still are.
3. you said if the geese can walk on the lake so can I.
4. this is a drunk text message: I am so glad that we are friends. tomorrow we will eat sandwiches in miniature. we both love dogs. flower.
5. [Text her.]

[sixtrillionyears]

Can you not?

[motherlypondness]

I can, but geese actually don't. they swim, they can't walk on the surface. they'd just sink.

it was nice of you to believe in me, though. :)

[sixtrillionyears]

I have seen monsters walk on the water's surface.
And Aster said they were monsters.

[motherlypondness]

not the magic kind.

they ARE very angry at humans, though. and other birds. and the sky. and themselves.

[sixtrillionyears]

Strange.
Why?

[motherlypondness]

that is their nature.

rage is the nature of a goose. swiftness is the nature of a squirrel. creation is the nature of a man.

all things have their nature.

at least, all things I know about. knowing everything isn't MY nature, though, so I could be wrong.

[sixtrillionyears]

Then what is my nature?

[motherlypondness]

[Without any hesitation whatsoever:]

love.

[sixtrillionyears]

Even though I am a monster?

[motherlypondness]

you're even less a monster than the geese. and if I welcome them to my waters, why would I not welcome you?

[Water themed mage and Water seem like a good matchup.]

I can confirm I do love dogs.

My normal drunk person advice is to tell them to drink some water but I'm not sure that makes sense in your case.

[motherlypondness]

[Shit, let's be element buddies.]

dogs are very good. they like to swim sometimes.

I could try... it rained a little while ago, I think my water levels are all right.
but maybe I need new water.

bodies are so strange.

[anoceanofatma]

No argument there.

Tell me about these sandwiches.

[motherlypondness]

I've been studying the little tiny sandwiches they serve at fancy parties, so I could do the flavors that Aster knew.

[Attached is a picture of a platter of mini party-favor sandwiches. A lot of mini sandwiches. Holy shit, Lutea, how much bread did you have?]

now the icebox is full. maybe I practiced too long.

[Yeah, someone is gonna need to help her get rid of these, this is way too much food.]
