[ he catches sight of the circling Siren out the corner of his eye, and a stray thought streaks hysterically through his brain: i don't want us to die.

thank god that all his conscious attention and focus is on Sora right now. he can't ever remember feeling so relieved as when Sora grabs onto him, and he nods fervently, keeping as tight a hold as he can manage. ]

Yeah, she's my roomie! [ he thinks he caught sight of her earlier, a flash of pink being helped down to the boats by someone else, but it's all a blur. so instead he says: ] Look, we came all this way to help her, and you, and - and everyone else who got dragged here, and we're not leaving without any of you. So-- if you pull your leg back over the side of this boat right now, we can both go find her and you can see for yourself!

[ is it just him, or is that Siren circling closer to the boat now? ]
