*The tholian didn't stop her motions at first, seeming to not even acknowledge the presence of the centaur until her drill with her short, curved blade came to the end of its form. Through this, the lyrics in her singing shifted to something else, of the dead that wait for us below in the return from Ramkurse, privately manipulating a contract as the water mildly shifted in disturbance in three lines from her as he song came to an end, and the elf stood straight, looking to this new stranger. She looked rather expressionless, though it was difficult to tell with her dark features hidden under the moonlight. However, after a moment of assessment, the tholian would bow, sweeping an arm in a welcome gesture to the waters around them. In her bending, she peered through the water at one of the three skeletons laying in hiding upon the waterbed in wait, resting with their arms and armor as if they were laid there upon the deaths. When she straightened her back, she only simply said* "There is plenty of space to share, stranger. Enjoy the water and the moonlight."

*She would then return to her regimental routine, making certain not to trip on any hidden bones surrounding her immediate area. It had been so long since she really practiced this. There were fewer wars these years, at least, those that would demand her own action. In any event, it turned out to be a gentle enough way to blow off some steam, even if she was being a bit unfriendly in the moment.*

*Melody would come to sit down at the edge of the water while the Tholian continues singing and practicing on despite her question, part of her antsy to walk in anyways, but knowing that at least by sitting she could hold back to the need and instead continue to watch the Tholian. There was a sense of uncanniness with her as the woman started singing about the dead before finally looking to her and saying to enjoy the water. Getting back up, she'd carefully trot out into the water. The cold would hit her deer-like body almost immediately, allowing her to let out a quiet sigh of relief. She'd continue out just far enough before she'd lower herself down more so that the water could reach her stomach.

For a while Melody would just soak in silence, listening as the woman would continue to her practicing in the wake of night. Melody wondered if there was something she was preparing for with her deciding to give up sleep for it, though that was little of her business. She wasn't doing anything wrong out here anyways.*"Are you heading to the Capitol, Miss?"*Melody would decide to ask instead, her own curiosity gnawing at her with the Centaur trying to make her way there.*

"Away from it, I discovered." *She said, mocking herself for having strayed so far off path to have made it all the way to the Capitol. Between a series of arcing slashes, eyeing the water at her thighs to measure her disturbance of it, she called out again.* "I take it that you are?"

"Got a bit turned around out here?"*She'd ask her with Ehakli claiming to just realize she was heading away. Melody would cup some water in her hand, getting it to wash over her skin in cooling herself down.*"I suppose things can get a bit hard navigating what with it being dark out here."*Melody would look back towards her.*"Practicing for something?"*At least she was getting the Tholian to talk a little more even if it wasn't much. Melody could only assume that she wasn't one for accepting too many visitors.*"Yes ma'am, I was actually heading towards it before nightfall. Since it was a bit too dark to see, I decided to just cool down out here for a while until the sun rose again. I have a basic idea of which direction it's in, but it can be easy to get lost out here."
