On dry land, day to day, Ilde looks the way Katherine might expect a younger Isobel to look - it's a form of control. People see her the way she was, most of the time, and they only see her the way she is on her terms, or in her territory. Where she's comfortable, when she feels she has the upper hand if she needs it.

Most of Ilde's coping mechanisms, funnily enough, are based in illusions.

"Do you want to?"
