Verity was the last thing on Daniel's mind right now. Was she strange? Yes, extremely, but they had bigger things to worry about and gossip was hardly productive to survival. Unless Kharon or that wind thing could fly them off to England again, they were still up shit creek without a paddle. At least, until Victor's voice rung out from nearby, eliciting a startled flinch from the resident persona wielder.

He definitely was not there a second ago, but the words that left his mouth gave Danny enough information to fill in the blanks. The water was a portal, then. It made sense; the dockhouse led to the beach, it would follow that the spring led somewhere else too. Though it raised the question of why a second floor bathroom. Was he supposed to climb out of the toilet or something? Victor dropped a multicolored wad over a rock, which Daniel surmised must've been their clothes. The guy was absolutely mad if he jumped back into the haunted water just to deliver a couple shirts, but Danny was immensely grateful all the same. He could've hugged him!

But he was shirtless. And that's gay.

Tempting as it was to rush right in the spring, his French savior requested an explanation and Danny figured he was better qualified than anyone else to give it, even with how little he understood of the situation himself. 

[color=0099ff]"Were you here for the tornado monster?"[/color] he asked as he made his way over to the rock and rifled through the pile of fabric for his shirt. [color=0099ff]"There was a... storm that was, like, alive - I think it came out of Maive - but the frog killed it, or made it go away, or something. Anyway, then [i]my[/i] persona - that's the monsters on our side, I think - came out, and I really wanted to kill the frog, and Khar- my persona just made it rot away really fast, and then it just dissolved into water. And then my persona disappeared, but I think I can still feel it. Sort of. I- I dunno how to explain it."[/color] As he rambled, it fully occurred to him that nothing he said made any sense, but neither did anything else on this island, and if Victor could wrap his head around a spring connected to a toilet without any headscratching, he could surely settle for something as nebulous as a protector manifesting out of the aether.

[color=0099ff]"As for everyone else..."[/color] Now fully clothed, he took the opportunity to look around again at last. Huh, this place cleared out fast. [color=0099ff]"I didn't even see them leave."[/color] There definitely hadn't been another frog, and the island, leveled as it was by the rampage of monster and personae alike, didn't exactly have many places for most of their group to be hiding.

That meant they all figured out the spring before him and didn't even say anything!

Unless they all left him behind to die after he saved their asses, he had to assume the answer was so obvious that no one assumed he'd miss it. Which meant he probably looked like an unobservant idiot for not noticing. In fairness, he was, but he wasn't about to go down without an excuse. 

[color=0099ff]"I promise I'm not stupid or anything! There was just a lot going on and I left my glasses in my dorm and honestly I'm still trying to wrap my head around the part where I killed a demon frog with my mind,"[/color] Danny explained sheepishly. [color=0099ff]"Sorry. Thanks for bringing our stuff, a lot of people wouldn't have come back in after that, I think. I guess everyone else must've stumbled into the spring too."[/color]
