At the mention of his modesty Jade only smiles. A little more softly than his usual with just the slightest raise of his brows showing his amusement before his eyes return to the dirt. After a few quiet moments he fills the silence.
"It's fascinating just how different earth can feel, isn't it? In the ocean so much of the sand feels the same. Wet and dense..." Jade's voice is soft and thoughtful as his fingers crumble a dry chunk over the jar. Careful to add a few of the varying shades. "The Coral Sea is beautiful, but even the colors seem so distant in comparison."
The vibrant red-orange of the clay coating his fingertips would look like nothing more than blue-black dirt back home. Even Rook's colors would be more subdued in comparison even as he so easily becomes one with the ground now. Ragged browns and corn yellow, caked in the dirt and grass that Jade has come to appreciate so deeply.
"It is because of the Sea Witch that I was able to come to land and experience all of these textures and colors." And people, too. "Truthfully, I had thought I would dislike it."
