"The perfect gift?" Those words echo in Lucien's mind.
He heard the Water Spirit use the same words to describe the magical shell, a gift given to her by her father.
She clearly becomes sad and upset when such a subject comes up, but no matter how much she tries to avoid talking about it, she fails to prevent herself from speaking about it.
Lucien understands that he needs to be very careful when dealing with such a powerful and mysterious being, but at the same time, the Water Spirit seems like someone so simple to understand.
He still has no idea how deep her hatred for the Water Goddess is, but it clearly is not stronger than her love for her father.
Another thing Lucien is sure about the Water Spirit is that she is a very intense person, a characteristic they both share more than they would like to admit.
While many thoughts about the Water Spirit pass through Lucien's mind, he doesn't realize he's mesmerized by her crystal-blue eyes.
