Stargaze led her friends and the drake across the water. Knowing what's going to happen next, she warns her friends, "[b]Here comes the fun part![/b]" before she immediately sinks into the large air bubble with her only making a "[b]Woo![/b]" sound. 

As soon as her friends recuperate and realize they're in a large bubble of air underwater, Stargaze smiled as she commented, "[b]Pretty cool, right?[/b]" She took stock of the aquatic environment around them, and realized that it wasn't as lively or vibrant as usual. It was still and dead...

She added upon that realization in sadness, "[b]Though...this area's usually much more lively...[/b]"

Then they arrived into the cave proper. Before she could even tell them that this is where she grew up, the other drake that was already here spoke up, thinking they were Echo. Stargaze's exuberance faded as she realized that the drake in question was none other than Kyte.

She had seen him before as someone who hung out with Stonescale, and just watched the bullying. She came to realize...

[I]If Kyte was here, then Stonescale might be on this island too...[/I]

At that thought, her tail now tucked between her legs in anxiety. She answered him, knowing she can't really hide and she was in the front leading her friends...

"[b]Oh! Uh...Hi, Kyte. Um...Gl-Glad to see you're okay, haha...[/b]" 

It was clear from her greeting that she was trying to put on airs of '[I]Everything is okay and is going to be okay,[/I]'. Internally, she was freaking out. She was worried that the bullying was going to start again, [I]here[/I] of all places. At her very home!
