"It may own my body," she retorted with eyes that flashed brightly beneath the lightning as it splashed across the sky, "but it will never own my spirit."
 
"I am Emily Odolf," she offered shortly thereafter. Names were often the start of peaceful negotiations though it was simply that she was no longer satisfied by their anonymous status. "Might I have yours, Sea King?"
