[In hindsight, Marie probably should have worn something less flashy while heading out for a boat ride. But just because she should have does not mean that she would have done it. She needs to keep her appearances at any time, even if it means a less comfortable ride]

I do like boats a lot! It has been a while since I was on one... Last time I rode a boat was before my arrival in Aefenglom, almost a year ago.

[She reaches out of the boat and dips her fingertips in water, just a light touch on the water surface]

How it has been for you, Reynir? Have you been living in this city for a long time? And do you have the chance to ride a boat often?

[She is just curious, okay?]
