[NYOOMMM up... they... go!!

And they even manage to do a pretty good job munching through the foliage (11) though they might get snagged or slowed down a bit here and there. It is a security measure so that they don't end up blasting off into space, obviously.

The other question is whether Cid is able to transform fast enough for when they break the surface and also summon his broom, which apparently he has to pick one or the other (7). In the interests of not being a literal fish out of water......... let's go with NOT BEING A FISH OUT OF WATER.

So, schwooooooop goes the tail as they go SCHWOOOOOM into the air, his shadows become cloak again, annnnd--]

...... I should practice multitasking transformation magic.

[Day I hope you're ready to catch them both on your broom otherwise we are going right back in the water.]

[ Hm. This was a little higher than Day was expecting. He's not going to blame Cid for prioritizing transforming back, because imagine trying to ride a broom while still being a merman.

On the other hand, he's trying to summon his broom, only to have it slip out of his grasp because one hand is slippery wet and another is busy holding onto the jewel (4). ]


Fuck—!

[ And as both Cid and Day fall, Day calls for his broom again, this time managing to grab it with one hand and haul himself up, before swooping down to try catching Cid, just a mere few feet above the water's surface. Hopefully Cid didn't have a terrible landing, because Day's hands are full. ]

[So, the good thing about no longer being a merman: now he has feet!!!!

The bad thing about no longer being a merman is that he's less hydrodynamic, and also getting pelted in the face by raindrops, so really the whole summoning a broom thing or trying to figure out where the Day-broom combo is right now is a little bit of a challenging prospect.

Storm visibility, yay.

The good thing is, shadow child leashes are still in effect -- AKA, instead of Cid trying to catch Day, there's also all these shadow tendrils reaching up for him from Cid's clothes. As for the fellow himself--]

Not bad, not bad.

[Speaking of feet, he's busy being smug because he remembered that water-walking is also a thing, but since the water is a fucking mess he only manages to get one foot-hold while the other leg sinks in up to the knee (6). Still, he sort of manages to..... frog-squat on top of the water until they get themselves sorted out?? Close enough.]

[ ...Those shadow leash-hand-things sure are useful, huh. It's why Day is trying to reach down to see if he can pull Cid up one-handed by using the tendrils as a way to hoist him up. Alternatively, he could just fly off while Cid hangs out down there, but it seems kind of gauche. ]

[He can only look like a silly frog for so long!!

So long, storm-tossed Lake Tycho!! Cid probably still doesn't know the name of this lake...... but he manages to finally summon his broom to give them both a boost, retracting his cloak-tendrils as he does so. Now they can both wobble up into the air and hopefully not get hit by lightning.

I'll be nice and not roll for lightning. ☆

Instead he'll give Day a thumbs up and a questioning look. Everybody and the ally rock in one piece??]

[ Day gives a thumbs up back. So long, Lake Tycho. Maybe they can visit again one day when it's not currently storming. ]
