What he said of the ocean incited even more into her. Whether or not that had been his intention, it had certainly been the result. It was obvious by the sound of her breath sucking in and then, a tiny laughter as she lolled about, staring out into the endless blue. Like a big river, huh? It seemed crazy to think of something like that. She had learnt about Diveen across the river - Malina's home land - but nobody had ever told her about the giant river. She stared up at Haziel for a moment, or rather up and through him, before musing mostly to herself. She seemed almost agitated, her tone with a bite. "I wonder if we'll ever get to cross it then if that's the case" She jumped to her feet then, flicking her paw at the water and kicking it up into a light spray. As she did so, she shouted at it in a rather commanding voice, the Latin rolling off her tongue almost entirely naturally. Of course, having been raised on both languages, it seemed a little awkward with her lack of natural accent. So be it, she had always figured, for only one of her mother's had such a twang to their voice. "Stultus fluvium!" Stupid river, indeed. She would have kicked its butt if she could have but instead, she was stuck swatting at it aimlessly until the next topic of interest had reached her. Namely, his name. Names were interesting, see, for one could easily make assumptions solely off of them. At least, her mother had always said that. Rogue was, well, a rogue, right? Malina had something to do with the sun, which Mana had always found entertaining considering her darker colour. Alcmene was named for... somebody, she remembered, though not entirely that well. Los, on the other hand, Mana liked to imagine was short for loser. Vision of God, though... that was something new. She pondered on it in silence for a moment, pondering all that he had said with a slightly cheeky grin. "Energy, storm - it has a lot of meanings. Mother even says it means to exorcise demons. Do you think that means I can be any one of those?" She paused again for a moment, leaning in slightly towards him as if to share a secret. Instead, her voice came out quietly, curiously. "Vision of God... what does God show you?" It could not be helped. She had to know. Did he see angels?
