“Well, I guess that we’re stuck in here now…” Bartz muttered softly as he quickly turned his attention to the door which was now closed. While he didn’t seem to understand why the guards had closed the doors behind him and Firion, he also decided not to linger on it for too long as he soon dove underneath the water once again. He wanted to see if there was any place to possibly hide away if needed and also ended up noticing that Firion had also entered the water at this point in time. As a result, he ended up glancing over at him and smiled.

“So, you finally decided to go underneath. What made you want to do that, Fi?” He asked Firion before swimming over to something that he found within the lagoon.

“Pretty much… Besides, we’re essentially locked in here so there’s not really anything better to do than to just see what could possibly be underwater…” Firion muttered softly. While he did sink to the bottom of the lagoon, he also ended up remaining silent after he spoke as he glanced over at Bartz.

Upon noticing that the guards had returned to the medbay, Vaan almost immediately stepped in front of Tidus before creating a fireball in the palm of his right hand. “What are you planning…” He said softly while holding the flame aloft.

“V… please put the fireball away… We don’t need for a fight to break out…” Tidus muttered softly as he glanced over at Vaan. While he had expressed his wishes for the slightly shorter merman to dismiss the fireball, he didn’t expect for said request to actually be heeded either.
