[ Navia smiles, shakes her head in response to what Frieda says. Cynicism or not, as a native of the city of justice, of course Navia understands. By their very nature, many humans are just that: sinners. Even those of them who do their best to do the right thing must sometimes break the rules a little along the way; her own organization is proof enough of that.

She's about to comment on it, on what the other woman continues to say, about being forgiven, when the realization strikes Frieda, has her mention Neuvillette. A warm flush works its way over Navia's cheeks as she tilts her head in admission.

It's not something the pair of them have spoken about since she confronted him with the truth she had realized: whether or not he is okay with others knowing.

Perhaps it is something they should discuss, if they're each to talk about their home to others. ]

I did not realize you knew our Chief Justice. [ He smile is fond. ] I'm not sure how comfortable he would be with this knowledge being made public, but... between just the two of us, yes. His power over Hydro, including the Primordial Sea, is second to none.

Before the brand was absolved, I fell into the Primordial Sea during an expedition. I was completely submerged in its waters. I would have become one with the others had he not followed me in and saved me.
