[ Good(?) thing for Oria, because nothing happens, even on Hani's side. Their weapon glows, but it's muted and only barely illuminates the space around their weapon.

Should they stay underwater for much longer, Hani will start to feel a pull towards the endless bottom. ]

[tinged]

[ well, they're staying down here for a bit longer because they're in the middle of typing oriade a message: ]

It's completely dark down here ww

Oriade-kun, do you see anything? I can feel a sort of pull wwww

[dissimulative]

[ Huh? An email right now of all times... Oria tries to multitask while keeping an eye on Hani and... huh? It's from Hani. They're right here—

Oh.

Oria immediately jumps in so that he can drag Hani out—or at least... try to. Even a small pull? Worry. ]

[cccorp]

[ Oria, too, will experience complete darkness when he submerges himself in the lake. It's a good thing that Hani lit up their weapon, as it's the only thing illuminating them enough so that Oria can find them.

And he too, will feel that pull. What's beyond the darkness? Is it code? Is it more darkness? Or will they be able to see if they go further down? Those are the questions that run through their minds, even if they know realistically that there is nothing more to see. ]

[tinged]

[ hani plans on going further down, despite everything. after all, from the translation they saw on the forums:

From the chosen land beyond the forest, a sign of the wave comes.

and this is Hidden Forbidden Dead Wood. if they don't try now, they might not get a chance later. ]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria planned on pulling Hani back up, but the pull makes it difficult to get back up. Not to mention that Hani wants to keep going down?! He tries to get their shoulder to get their attention and shake his head no. ]

[cccorp]

[ The darkness is tempting, inviting event, despite being made up of code.

Yet the pull does not grow stronger. ]

[tinged]

[ hani turns in the water to look back at oriade. they recognize that expression as one of worry, and when he shakes his head... hani presses their lips together and cast one last glance at the depths below. next time, they think.

hani's a practiced surfer, a strong swimmer. in another life, they were made to flourish underwater. they kick their legs for a burst of momentum, swimming against the pull to grab oriade around the waist and take them both up to the surface. ]

Oriade-kun?

[dissimulative]

[ Oria lets out a gasp when he's pulled back to the surface. He can breathe!! Anyway— ]

Don't go diving into something like that! You wanna know how it is to drown that bad?!

[cccorp]

[ Now that they're out of the lake, that strange pull completely disappears. The lake looks as still as ever, but that abyss certainly feels more menacing now, doesn't it?

On both of their parts, it might feel like they just barely avoided a bad outcome. ]

[tinged]

[ oh, it was worry after all. oriade was worried about them. hmm. guilt isn't a thing they feel, but they are more aware of what being worried about someone entails.

they let go of oriade, keeping a grip on his arm just in case. ]

I'm sorry. Next time I'll ask first.

[ as close to contrite as it gets for them. ]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria sighs and pats Hani's shoulder while they're both soaked to the bone and and on dry land(?). ]

Something bad happened to Ganymede and it didn't make you feel good, right? We'd probably feel the same if what happened to Ganymede happened to you too.

[ ...

Well, at least Oria would, despite how unsure he is of Hani sometimes. ]

[tinged]

[ well, oriade can pat them, but they are going to casually unequip all their wet gear and switch to a maid outfit.

they nod after each sentence like an obedient child, a silent promise to keep those words in mind - for the future. ask first next time. people may worry about them if something bad happens. worrying doesn't feel good for them or anyone. gotcha.

after the last nod, they wait in case oriade has more to say. ganymede usually took a while with his lectures. maybe oriade is the same. ]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria is always to the point with his scolding if he has to—he's usually on the end of being scolded, so when he's done, he pats Hani's shoulder again but this time while feeling the texture of the frills of thr maid outfit on the shoulder. Wow. ]

You're good to go. Should we join up with the others?

[tinged]

[ another nod!

looks like the master is suffering from IBS (?) or UTI (?) or something, so they should check on him first probably. but hani will defer to oriade. ]
