"They are adaptable creatures, but we are naturally in a more superior state." She didn't want Kelna to think she was arrogant and though she was superior. After all, humans dominated this world, and for good reason. Though they were creatures who required many things, they found ways to trick the world in some form or another. It was an impressive feat really, they were quite the experts at it, they had grown some very impressive logic and intellect, and she envied them for it. Of course, they weren't as nearly advanced as they could be, but the world was still young, and they were still growing.
She hoped that they grew into something marvellous.
"That would be inappropriate, we have just met." Hugging after all was for friends and lovers. She had learned he distinction long ago, though she guessed that her words might be poorly interpreted. It didn't matter however. She was focusing on Kelna's mind, on the very outside of it, where surface thoughts would lie. "Kelna, if you can hear me, do not speak, but think the words instead." She knew it may take some time getting used to it, and underwater Kelna could still 'speak' per se, but only Quiel would hear it, now that their minds were connected so. After all, when one spoke, they usually had the words in their mind. This would hopefully work out well.
