Galthax took a deep breath, twining hir tentacles in a thoughtful manner. "Ice is frozen water. This is solid water. There is a difference."

Human Iz scrunched their face up, attempting to comprehend and evidently burning out some brain cells in the process. "Solid water. That's not ice."

"Correct," said Galthax. "Water compressed and pressurised to the point where it stops being liquid at above zero temperature. It's all in the magic of gravy drives."

Iz was still frowning. "Hahn?" A very Human noise of non-understanding.
