The water is freezing, Helios long disappeared beyond the horizon. Rubbing his arms, Peleus takes another step.

"Are you sure?"

He throws Thetis a dubious glance. The breeze blows foam in his face. Already half-melting in the sea, she shakes her head with an exasperated sigh 

"You won't drown. I told you."

"I know. It's... are you sure?"

"I married you."

It'll be all he gets from her. They'll work things out. With another sigh, she takes his hand.

She dives and he follows.
