I overheard an interesting conversation while at a coffee shop in Amberfall this afternoon.

[Interesting enough that it seems he wants to bring it to everyone's attention.]

Two customers debating over whether or not water has a 'taste'.

[And what a funny thing to have a debate over to begin with.]

And I found myself curious as to which side most people would fall on in such an argument... as well as if anyone else here experiences water in the same way that I do. [Now, that's the real point of this.] As something that carries memory, the experience and emotion of everything it has passed through. The water from each region of this world is entirely unique to me in more ways than its flavour profile.

[A brief pause.]

Such an... ability is unusual in my home world. I have never thought to ask if others here have it.

Water tastes different because it has different minerals in it.

[Thanks, Oryou.]

Lots of things have water in them. Do you get emotions every time you eat soup?

You probably shouldn't be drinking water that's passed through anything, no matter how unique the flavor is.
I'm pretty sure "don't eat yellow snow" probably applies to water too.

I don't have any kind of ability like that, though, and I'm kinda glad for that.
I think if I had to deal with that I'd drink water even less than I do now.

Water definitely tastes different from different sources, but I hadn't heard of tasting its memory before. Pardon me for saying so, however, that's quite the useless ability♡

[And, as the doll sitting on his shoulder, he adds: A useless ability? Does that mean he's a useless man?]

Now, now, Emily, that's such a rude thing to say! Not everyone can have useful skills to rely on, now can they?
