Had Veteran known Sobo's line of thinking, he might have argued that the glacier was alive, wild and powerful in its own way. But as he could not recall exactly was a "sea" was, he was stumped as to how to answer the question.
Thankfully, Sobo continued on to explain that the sea was, in fact, black water as far as the eye could see. The way he spoke about the sea was lovely, and Veteran could appreciate the artistic quality even though he was quite unable to reproduce it in his own description, as Sobo was about to find out.
"Well.. yeah, kinda," Veteran answered after some thought. "The glacier stretches really, really far, like the sea. And it does move like water, but slower. It melts in the heat of the day and re-freezes at night, so it's never exactly the same. We have this one place, the Grotto-- it's a cave in the ice. The inside changes all the time though, so even if you learn it perfectly one day you can still get lost in it the next day. My mom says its really dangerous to go inside."
Veteran wagged his tail, hoping that would satisfy Sobo.
