"Marshes and mosquitos. Houses on stilts to avoid being flooded out. Crocodile-like fish that like to eat people."
Spring where Susan - no matter what name she's had or takes, she'll always be Susan to him - has made her home brings torrential rains that melt the snows that blanket the mountains, and send it all flooding down the narrow valleys. The house is far enough up the slope to avoid being flooded out, and dug deeply enough into the rock not to be swept down the slope in a mudslide. It's perhaps the only good thing Marcus can say about spring on this planet, in this place.
"It could be worse." Susan is sitting next to the stove, where it's warmest, while he's looking out the window at another gray day. "I could have settled on land down on the plain."
"Worse?" Marcus turns, raising an eyebrow. He could imagine something of what worse could mean, but he wants to hear her talking. Since he's woken up, he's wanted to listen to her, almost as much as he wants to tell her, every moment, how much he loves her.
"Marshes and mosquitos. Houses on stilts to avoid being flooded out. Crocodile-like fish that like to eat people." Susan has a completely straight face, and Marcus isn't certain if she's joking or not. He'll err on the side of not, because being eaten by a fish after he's been brought back from the dead once? Embarrassing.
