What can we blow up today?

===============

Hope Kevin isn't too intimidated by Bud (without really considering it) showing just how strong she IS...

Good to know that he wasn't badly injured when the sub went KABLOOIE!!!

DilyV, I had the same reaction. Bud + anchor -> Stinky. No two ways about it. :)

Dear, don’t bore him with trivia or burden him with your past mistakes. The happiest way to deal with a man is never to tell him anything he does not need to know. L. Long

Knowing Kakens are things that do in fact exist is an entirely different experience from seeing (and smelling) one in person.

Why would Bud have mentioned the whole "I blew up the sandbar" to Kevin?

Though I suppose that Monica could have.

There is a difference between knowing something intellectually and actually understanding it. After this event Kevin will likely understand Bud a little more, but still not see the full implications of what she is.

But will Keven realize just how vulnerable he is in the company of Bud?
Unless he is a Para and we haven't been told, he's a prime candidate for collateral damage if not a quick snack.

I wonder if we'll learn just when it was that Bud and Brandi (and Jin?) met Stinky.

Does he date back all the way to the years immediately after the Lanthian catastrophe (when some of the survivors from Lanthis were living in an under-sea habitat of some sort, if I remember correctly) or is he younger than that?

IIRC, Eurale made a remark to Monica about Lanthis "going underwater", but not quite the way the legends had it . . . there wasn't any more explanation.

That was when Eurale first met Monica, and turned her to stone in a startle reflex.

Turned her to ice, actually. Euryale does ice. It's Medusa that does stone. (I don't know if we've been shown what their other sister turns people into.)

Given that it's Stheno, it's certainly something denser than Jell-O.

I think I saw a statement that she turns people into sand, but I don't know whether that was canon or just a supposition.

This being Stheno, corpses: She was an extremely lethal creature, according to Greek mythology.

At least she's not the Dark God Üweboll, whose touch turns all to poo...

Kevin might ahve known about Stinky, and is shocked by: a) sudden appearance; b) size . . . ; c) stench.

Though that is a convenient solution to an inconvenient magic talisman . . .

Well, when her Sister told the lil' Stinkwed that Stheno was 'made from dark, bitter coffee..' Lady S replied, 'No, I'm made of Turpentine...'. (I paraphrase, of course...)

Maybe she Dissolves folks...

If she's been saving up money since Lanthian days, she could indeed be powerfully solvent. She could probably provide solutions to many of life's annoyances that way.
