So, there is a lake, right? Only it's somewhere which isn't Mama's home under the sea, and it isn't Pappos's home, it's somewhere a bit cooler and a bit north (so says Atlas, but what does he know, but at some point it turns into a nice, warm sea and Medusa really doesn't understand how that works.

The only way to investigate is to, well, investigate, so the tiny Gorgon is flying over the join of fresh water and salt, trying to see how it works

"Truthyguy is a completely normal name." Jaq protests.

Blankly,

"It is?"

"Yes."

"I've never heard of it before."

"Obviously you're just very sheltered."

"Um." She can't really argue that, so she scuffs her foot in the grass.

"There, there. 'S nothing too wrong with that."

"Too?"

Jaq once again looks innocent.

"You," she declares after a moment's contemplation, "are making fun of me."

"A little bit, yes."

"Why?"

Shrug.
"Seemed like the thing to do at the time."

"...do you have siblings?"

Jaq just stuffs his hands in his pockets and goes rather quiet.

She may have hit a nerve.

"I was just asking, because that's what brothers and sisters do."

"Yeah, I know." Beat. "I did?"

Blankly,

"Did?"

"They, er. Died."

"I don't...understand."

She just gets a Look.

She stares at him, baffled.

"What's died?"

"Er. Not alive anymore?"

Nope, still no understanding.

"... Yeah, you're very sheltered."
