The sudden deluge of water that could drown even Earthlings, who can only drink through their mouths, let alone this species that can absorb water through their fontanelles.

Standing on the sand dune, or gazing directly from above, her and the child's heads in her arms appeared solitary above the lake surface, like a black dot on a mirror.
