[color=6ecff6]"Hmm... witchy?"[/color] Judea smiled a little at that, pulling Sloane a bit further away from the others.[color=6ecff6] "It certainly has the same feeling as magic doesn't it? It could be some sort of old curse, especially considering where we are, but I don't have a definite idea yet of what it is."[/color]

Judea was stripping off her clothing while she spoke, working on her pouch, then her combat vest. 

[color=6ecff6]"Sloane. This place might be more dangerous than any one of us can imagine, so I'm going to ask you if you are willing to... to do anything it takes to survive, even some questionable acts."[/color]

Smiling gently, she put a hand on Sloane's head reassuringly. [color=6ecff6]"I won't ask you to do anything you don't want to do. Say no, and I'll never bring this up again. You don't have to answer now. Think about it for a while. I'm going to look in the ruins and see what I find."[/color]

With that, Judea turned into a capybara, and swam into the middle of the flooded part of the ruins. This wasn't a situation she would have wanted for her partner; not after all the hard work they have done. She had no idea how dangerous it would be, so if it really gets bad, then she might have to resort to... drastic measures. Hopefully it won't come to that, but if it did, at least she would know whether Sloane would be averse or not to those sort of acts.

Speaking of which, she could probably set in one of these underwater ruins. It wasn't at all the height of magic to simple make a barrier to keep water out. With luck, she might even find one that has a clear access to a roof that wasn't underwater.
