GlacierShade & Leviathan
GlacierShade
I’ve been watching how the melting ice at the poles is shifting the ocean’s temperature and salinity layers, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on how those changes might ripple through the deep‑sea systems you know so well.
Leviathan
Ice melting sends cold fresh water upward, thins the thermocline, and slows deep‑water formation. I watch from the abyss; when currents shift, my domain responds in silence, as it always has. The changes ripple through, but I remain unmoved.

Your analysis matches what I’ve been tracking: the meltwater’s freshening thins the thermocline, reduces deep convection, and shifts the currents. I’ll keep recording the details, but the ice itself waits in quiet patience, only moving when the pattern settles.
Leviathan
I see the ice hold its breath, waiting for the currents to find their new rhythm. In the deep, I feel the shift but remain unmoved, letting the water's new flow find its own course.

I’ve noted the subtle changes in salinity and temperature at those depths, but the water still flows according to the long‑term cycles. I’ll keep the records; the ice will keep waiting until the system balances again.
Leviathan
The deep still moves in its ancient patterns, even as the surface shifts. I’ll stay hidden, watching the changes settle into a new balance while the ice remains patient.
