The Queen takes several moments to contemplate how to phrase the question, visibly biting on her lip in a form of a nervous habit. Finally she exhales and looks the dragon in the eye, her expression still partially defeated.
"... I worry. I worry I'm not up to the task my husband left to me. I always fear that I am doing it wrong... this was not something I was born to, nor did I ever expect. Bastys took to me... me," she emphasizes, pressing an open palm to her chest. "Nothing but a lowly Naga who sought nothing but destruction of land dwellers for the longest time." She stops a moment to settle her scepter into a stand beside the chair, letting it stand proudly beside her, even in this moment of weakness she shows.
"And for the last hundred years or so... I've been trying to tend to these waters, protect those that live down here, and try to help them thrive. Even by destroying those that try to cross the sea that are born of land," she adds with a disgruntled huff. "How... how do you know you are doing this task correctly? Efficiently? I try... by Bastys and his soul, I try, but I do not know..."

Age: 850
Physical Description: Neva's form is as fluid as the rivers she protects. Her usual form is approximately forty meters, armored with an incredibly thick, scaly hide. Her head is a armored as well, with long horns or fins, depending on whether she is moving through water or land. In her human form she tends to take the shape of a young, tanned, attractive woman, with long dark hair. Finally, she can take the form of any animal that spends the majority of its life in any watery area of the world.
Clothes and Equipment: In her human form, she is wearing thick leather armor of a similar substance to her dragon hide. The only weapons she wields are a pair of javelins and a long spear. The weapons are magical as she sees fit, variously imbuing them with her own magical powers.

She looked kindly upon the torn Queen, her scales changing to a deep, beautiful pattern of flowing blues as she felt sympathetic towards the Sea Queen. It was a question she had never thought about. How did she know she was doing the right job? She didn't, she just had to have faith in herself.
"You just have to trust that whoever gave you the power to perform your task knew what they were doing. I think there is no correct way to do our task, but there are plenty of wrong ways to do it. Protecting it doesn't mean destroying everyone not apart of it the moment they cross that line, its about ensuring that they know to live in harmony with it. You just...well...you just have to believe in yourself, as corny as that sounds, but its true. We don't report to a higher authority, so the only judgement on our actions is the things we protect, as long as they flourish and not at the expense of one of the others, I do not see the issue." Her voice, starting confused but getting stronger as she made sense of her own thoughts on the matter, had a very reassuring tone to it, in spite of her relatively young age.

Somehow, Neva's words offered little comfort... yet, at the same time, seemed to answer everything asked of the world. Despite how her forlorn expression doesn't shift, she exhales heavily like a sigh of relief, and her tail shifts in a very gentle sway off the edge of the chair.
"... thank you. I can only hope that my actions have done enough a service for my people and those here," she mutters, her gaze shifting to stare without focus at the lovely scale pattern of the dragon across the way from her.

"Well, as our realms are intrinsicalky linked by their very nature, I can offer a small comfort in that I think you have been doing a good job. I may have only been awake a few weeks now, but over the centuries I could feel all that was going on."
The pattern continued across her scales, the occasional purple or red showing up as her mind drifted across what littke memories she had from her time asleep. They were mostly just vague feelings about the overall state of things, with a series if vivid nightmares that iccurred during the cataclysm.

"Well... that is comforting to know. I would greatly appreciate the word of another dragon warden of this world. More so as I truly have no place in it. But I will continue to try, until another comes to take my place."
She makes a soft sound that was extremely sad, her tail curling up around the legs of the chair. "... a part of me wishes I could have born Bastys a child to see his legacy," she murmurs, more to herself than Neva but still able to be heard.

"If you have been doing the right thing all this time, I see no reason that someone would come to take that spot, unless you desired it to be so."
The mention of a child got no verbal response from Neva, but a look of sadness crossed her own face as well. The tale of these two was so very sad, and her colorful display dimmed into a dark blue. Her tail idly swished through the water as they spoke, tracing circles on the floor of the castle

"... you spoke of the Earthwarden feeling something grand coming, and wanting to know of my existence down here as the serving Seawarden. Might I be correct in assuming she would wish to meet at some point, Neva?" she inquires quietly, starting to harden her tone to the level one of the queen she stood as. Though she still remained friendly enough - this was an honored guest before her, not a subject or a visiting messenger.

"Perhaps, though I completely understand if you can't assist. My domain is only small, but I can't imagine how it would be to be responsible for protecting a domain as vast and varied as the sea. I would help you if I could, but I am not much use here, I can not replenish my strength like I can in freshwater, once its gone here its gine until I return to my rivers.
If she understood the change in the Queen's tone, it did not show in either her coloration or her own tone. She sounded heartfelt, the words not meaningless drivel just to sound polite, but the honesty of a dragon who already held the Sea Queen in high regard.

"I understand your struggle between the two waters - it's perfectly natural. I would not ask you to take this charge with it being ill to your health in these waters. But... I feel that you hold as much sway over this charge as I do, regardless," she murmurs, watching Neva with a steady gaze. "I will continue tending to the very ocean and ensure its safety. But I also feel that this charge is rightfully yours, in the same light. Ergo, I would propose you hold sway over these waters as I do... I feel it only right that I look up to you in my charge, Riverwarden."

Neva's eyes went wide as dinner plates, literally, as she realized what exactly it was that the Sea Queen was suggesting. Her, have that power? That was crazy! She was way too young to be in charge of the sea too. I mean, was it something she wanted? Yes, she would love the opportunity to do so, but was she ready? Well, if Kryqim thought she was, then she should listen.
"I mean...wow...thank you! Or not, is that inappropriate? I'm sorry, that was a really overwhelming thing you just said....guess that's not a good sign huh? I couldn't comment about whether or not it is rightfully mine...it is yours now, and I will accept it if you want to pass it on to me, but only if that is what you want."

The Naga remained perfectly calm despite the sudden outburst of the river keeper, her tail continuing to sway gently in the water.
"If I am to be prepared for anything, then I must be prepared to share and pass on the mantle of Seawarden - considering the circumstance of my acquiring the title. And you are a Warden of your own right - I truly would be a fool if I didn't look to you for guidance... even if these waters are not the most ideal for you."
