Eaton Waters
All the young dudes
Eaton saw the look from Atlas and took a deep breath. He knew Freeport way too well, mostly because of who the official-unofficial founder of the village was. His sister. She was really good to people, he had to respect that, but it didn’t mean it was going to be part of his life. He wasn't going to step in with that knowledge, though, best to keep his family’s involvement around this world separate from him.
But he did bring up a good point, even Eaton would need a speeder to get this far in the water. Sure, he had a bit of the vision that Atlas didn’t, but still, the other man was the explorer type. Eaton was hired-help, and he knew it. Never had any other vision.
But the kid?
She was… well, a kid.
A verbose kid, all the same. And actually, the girl was reminding Eaton of his own mother. More close to the full blubreen, she was another type of siren herself. Then his sister showed up and used it quite literally. He opened his mouth to speak after the whole ruling statement but didn’t have the chance.
“Planet’s a lake…” He was fairly certain he said, but the way she kept just moving on.
And on.
“How’d you swim here? The size of the critters down below.”
