"That doesn't mean she cannot be afraid of something. She is also afraid of snakes."

“True, but why don't you ask her if you can stay in that body of water on her property?” He asked, changing the subject.

"We tried that. It was not deep enough... my belly rested on the bottom, and the water did not come far enough up my sides to support me. I think it also scared the horses." Peach paused, seeming slightly sad. "None of the fresh water sources on the planet are deep enough for me anymore, and I do not like traveling into orbit alone. So I use the ocean port, even if I do not like the salt."

“I am sorry to hear that. Would you mind me asking how large you will be?”

"I do not know for certain. Pure Leviathans often reach lengths in excess of 300 meters, but my line is a hybrid line. I believe my mother was only 200 meters long. I do not know how large my father was though. We often never meet our fathers."

He looked at the image and started to make the calculations needed. She would become quite heavy so it would need a thick layer of silicon on the bottom, maybe have gel instead of water. “It's pretty sad.”

"Yes. But it is a fact of our existence and was before the Cerva enslaved the Leviathans. We do not form family groups. Instead, the mother will teach the offspring all she knows and then the offspring will leave. The Cerva do not allow us to carry out this normal process, however. We are separated from our mothers while we are still very young. They believe it makes us more docile."

“What ever they might think, it is still wrong. Maybe one day you will meet your mother, show her how strong you have become.” Zerna said, hoping that would brighten her up.

"I hope so. Perhaps by then she will also be free and not a slave to the Cerva."

"Thank you. You are the first to offer, other than Miss Clio. Most people here do not think of me as an equal. To them, I am not much different from a cave cat."

“Ignorance. But I don't think you as an equal.” he stood up and groaned. “You are something far greater then I will ever be.”

"I do not think I am much greater than you are. I am simply different," Peach replied warmly, clearly grateful to hear that someone thought so highly of her.

“Yes, you are very difirent. So compare me to you. I am very small compared to you, I need a oxygen and nitrogen mix to survive, I need water and food to survive. I need protection to survive out in the cold of space. What do you need to be out in space?”

"Nothing. I was born to live in space, just as you were born to live in an oxygen-rich environment with appropriate temperatures and gravity. And space is not so cold as you think. The radiation from a star is quite warm... when I share the experience with Miss Clio, she compares it to taking a nap outside in the sun."
