Onyx took a few deep breaths and tried to talk like Tarentek had suggested. "Freedom, and opportunity. Have you never thought how much easier your life would be if you could simply..." She drifted off and focused on her breathing for a little bit. "I'm sorry, I don't think that's going to work. Thinking about what I like about flying keeps bringing me back to how much I don't want to be here, or anywhere near water. The rocks in my stomach just keep getting heavier." Onyx had managed to open her eyes as she spoke, so she looked at Tarentek while she tried not to focus on the water.
