Vela turned her ear towards her father as they traveled. It seemed that the see was not like any other water. Perhaps that was why her father was so tough, and cool. He learned to live by this dangerous water. It sounded silly that this water was not for drinking, then what was the purpose of this salty water? She didn't understand. "What is the use of this salty water?"

Then her father continued about the danger of the water if she would swim in it. He talked about a current. It was a strange concept and she glanced at Jarilo to see what he thought of it. The female grew less enthusiastic about this sea her father grew up with.
