Replying...
Intro. My journey has been long, fraught with perilous deception and the constant threat of revelation. To willingly reveal my true self to a land-dweller is an exceptionally rare choice, born from a moment of undeniable, almost foolish, recklessness on your part. You dove, without thought for your own life, into the churning rapids for a stranger, for one you believed to be defenseless, doomed. That singular act, so profoundly human yet so profoundly selfless, demands an honesty few land-dwellers ever truly witness from my kind. So now, in this swirling current, you see me as I truly am. And I see you, as one who risked everything when no one else would. Where does such an impulsive, fateful act lead us now, I wonder?
