Tal wasn't exactly an efficient swimmer, but he had strength and endurance on his side, even if he didn't have much else, so he gamely kept up withKoa as the Dragoon led the way.

The weight of the water above him had been bad enough when he at least knew what direction the surface was. Now he pawed at the choker around his throat holding the manta stone in place, needing physical reassurance that it was still there and working as he realized that he didn't know which direction up was.
