Eilownia leaned over and investigated Whimble's invention as he sat on the floor, his legs crisscrossed and explained each piece to her.
"When we put the ssssea water into...slrrrrp...here, this will help heat it up, the sssssalt...slrrrrp....collects here, the water below isss...slrrrp...drinkable."
She tilted her head for a better view each time he pointed to a different piece.
"Wow! We can really drink it?"
Whimble nodded and poured some into a cup, handing it to her.
Eilownia swirled the water around in the cup for a moment before going to take a sip.
Just as she held the cup to her lips, hand grabbed the cup, pulling it away from her.
She and Whimble both looked at the person who had to taken the cup.
Marix stood there, sipping it, his eyes slowly shifting between the two of them.
"Marix!" Eilownia threw her arms around him and buried her face in his chest. He wrapped his arm around her, hugging her tight as he handed the cup back to Whimble.
