Terhikki listened in as her 'partner' spoke. She tilted her head and made a 'whoa' sound of genuine interest in Marina's utterings, as if she earnestly enjoyed listening to others regall people with their experiences. Even if Marina was vague and abrupt, it was still information about the woman that Terhikki hadn't had yet.

"Awesome! I was right to pick you, I could tell you've seen a lot!" She grinned at Marina, before her smug demeanor resumed and she looked to Marlowe herself.

And by 'looked to Marlowe', she leapt to her feet and lifted a leg to rest on her chair, presenting herself in a dominant position as she shut her eyes and struck a, what was in her mind, rather elegant pose of 'I'm sticking my thumb up to get your attention looking at me because it's my turn to talk and tell my story'.

"Terhikki Vepsalainen is a Snow Hare. I'm sure you've heard of us- the best divers of the Frozen Sea. I've been in the water for four years, and I've been breaking ice for three. I'm the best ice breaker there is, and a mighty good swimmer to boot. Second only to my own teacher." Her eyes opened as she began her story. "The Frozen Sea is full of awesome stuff down in the waters, and I've explored a lot of territory...Not all of it, but I've hunted and scavenged those waters with my tribe for long enough to be familiar with it all. There are amazing ruins down under the ice, and I hope to see more of them in all the other seas."

She then pumped a fist heroically- er, what she thought was heroically at least.

"And that's why I'm here- to explore the seven seas, to make new memories, to build up awesome stories and collect cool things! That way when I return home, I can teach the Snow Hares all about the outside world and show them that the world outside the ice shelf..."

She made smug smile, as if finding this 'ending' to her tale pretty awesome.

"...Is as [i][u][b]cool[/b][/u][/i] as the world beneath it."

She then sat back down and let out a sigh of 'I'm relaxing now'.

"Eh. Never seen one of the Leviathans though. Snow Hares avoid its nest; too dangerous to go near it, we wouldn't risk our people going there. Maybe one day I'll get a look at it."

She finally seemed to be drying up, at last.
