Alice Grove MCDLT - June 2016
Skewbrow:
Ok, so which former lake is this (assuming they are on Earth, and the lake exists in our time)? Talk of prairies hints at North America, but probably not conclusively. I don't think any of the Great Lakes would be this flat. Salt Lake would match the scenery well, but draining it for water would then feel misplaced? Also is it wide enough to need 3 weeks to cross?

Lake Erie is the most shallow of the Great Lakes so they might be traveling by the remnants of my old hometown or stopping there if it survived the centuries.

The more I see Gavia in action, the more I wonder if Alice is seeing more than a little of herself in the girl. Proud, prone to mistakes driven by anger and unwilling to apologise, partly due to pride but also due to shame and being uncomfortable with social interaction.
Alice, being five millennia old, is wise enough to know that nothing will be gained by forcing Gavia and Ardent to confront this issue. There is time enough for that later when time and distance have scabbed over the wounds a little; firstly, they have to complete their mission.

The Aral Sea? The Salton Sea? The Mediterranean has had a history of drying out when plate techtonics closed up Gibraltar.

Well they are dressed similarly.
Alice might also see in Gavia the girl she was before the blink. Perhaps she also placed too much faith in the wisdom of the Praesides which might be the source of her grudge. If Gavia feels betrayed by them it could be a sentiment they both share.
