Since his parents started talking in a more serious tone, Rhazii's playing started to slow. He got to the point where he looked over to Ahnasha and began to reach for her while starting to whine and tense his face. He was probably tired or hungry. Maybe both. It was getting late for him.

Fendros lifted Rhazii up into his arms and passed him to Ahnasha while he answered her. "I can't say. I had to be very insistent the last time I got something out of him. He really doesn't like talking about these things." Fendros faced Ahnasha, but didn't look at her directly, "I'm not sure whether I should try and talk to him again, or just go straight to Meesei and let her talk to him. I think he would be more forthcoming with her, but I don't want to disrespect him by letting everyone know what's bothering him. He hates admitting to anything that could be seen as a weakness."

While the fish were in the vicinity, Janius wondered if he could try to pull something off that the last person he dove with showed him. He had only experienced it once, years ago when he was a teenager and visiting relatives in anvil. He shifted to place himself in front of Kaleeth and held one finger up in front of her, nodding to try and get her to stay perfectly still. Then he took her other hand and stayed as still as he could as well. Whenever Kaleeth shifted, Janius lifted a finger and tried to stay her movement. It took maybe half a minute, but the school of fish eventually turned in their direction and engulfed their lower bodies, the flow of the fish parting to avoid them.

Janius' mouth slowly curled into a smile at the sight, this couldn't have worked out better. At least it would have been until his next breath caused him to suddenly cough a cloud of bubbles. The fish instantly scattered away as the water had almost entered his lungs. He knew exactly what this meant. He wasted no time in squeezing Kaleeth's right hand as hard as he could and kicked roughly away from the sea floor. They weren't especially deep, but deep enough for their ears to hurt as they ascended in the water.
