Elizabeth then proceeded to ask:

"You are not human, are you?". The girl shaked her head in disapproval. "Then are you some kind of fairy?". The nymph shaked her head. "Can you do magic?". This time she nodded, Lady Elizabeth was surprised to see a positive answer, then she continued:

"A witch?". She shaked her head again. "A nymph?", Elizabeth obtained another positive response. "You're a nymph who does magic... What kind of magic?"

Lady Elizabeth asked this from mere curiosity, she knew it would be something otherworldly but what happened shooked her a bit.

The golden eyes and crynsom hair of the creature in front of her started glowing, she positioned herself, got on her knees and moved her hands as if she was going to pray. She closed her eyes. The ocean coloured skin of the nymph started to become transparent and started dripping, her crynsom hair started transparenting too. Before Elizabeth realized what was happening, the nymph had already turned herself into water and flowed back to the lake.

"So you disappeared... I did not expect that", she murmured.

The started to break once again, reveling the girl that had previously disintegrated in front of the Lady's eyes. Her flowing crynsom hair, vibrant gold eyes and deep ocean skin were, once again, solid and visible as if nothing had happened.

"You appeared again!", said Elizabeth in shock. The nymph nodded and started moving forward. She sat in front of Elizabeth and stayed quiet, as if she was waiting for her to say something. Well, indeed, Elizabeth ask:

"That is your magic?". The nymph nodded. "So you can turn yourself into water and then emerge from it". She nodded again. "You came out of the lake, does it have to be this lake specifically?".the nymph responded negatively. "Does it have to be a body of water where you emerge from?". She nodded. "So you can come out from the ocean or river?". The girl nodded. Elizabeth started thinking, she didn't have it clear in how any of this was even possible.
