Though Tydus was distracted by Vesh's leaving, he found that the world around him had not faded away. The sounds of his podmate showing off and beating to his own drum, as he always did, was by no means new to him. It was the others, the sudden quiet and distraction that plagued Adi, that intrigued him. Before he could move over to her and ask if she was alright, though, he was attacked.
The other woman, Grace, as she had introduced herself as over, had sprung forward, and out of nowhere, lashed out at him, his head and body shoved under the water, the heat pressing to the flesh of his face, his skin ablaze with the rolling heat of the water as his mouth filled with the heated liquid. The sensation of hot water, still new to him, was all the more unwelcome in his mouth, the Tempest lashing out under water, curses emerging from his lips in a string of bubbles rolling to the surface of the springs before Tydus clutched at the woman's hands. He pushed forward once, using the force of the motion in the water to push his body backwards, sputtering as water escaped from his lungs.
Air filled them in its stead, gasps fleeing from his lips as the Tempest scion sought to gather air and find new life in it, though despite being attacked, a grin marked the Tempest's features, the knowledge that his attacker's skill in the water, shown by her slow ascent towards him, encouraged him to continue their game. Vibrant blue eyes cast themselves towards the woman as Zulrav's winds blew over their heads, the cool chill of early Spring's counteracting the faint burn of the hot spring water upon his face. Despite his worry, Tydus felt the worry seep from his mind, exhilaration and the love for water, as corrupted as it was by heat, wedged through the Svefra's mind as the God's wind drove Tydus' Master, God of the Sea Laviku's saline air through his lungs. It was wondrous to sense, and Tydus felt the array of sensory detail absolve him of his concerns.
Vesh could wait, the penguin's problems were by no means new to Tydus, and there was little urgency in the matter so long as Vesh made it to the ocean's embrace in time. In the coming days, Tydus would need to worry about it, but not on this one. Instead, he shouted out to Kel in Common, turning his head as he did so,
"Pod-brother! Where the bloody seas are you going? Get yer arse back over 'ere! This 'un has a bit of fight in 'er, she does."
Tydus Tempest felt an unfamiliar rush of excitement in his bones, a chuckle escaping his lips as he began to turn back towards the normal. He had every intention of putting her in her place, for the sake of his own amusement, if anything. She sought to challenge a Svefra on the water, he'd prove to her that it was not to end in her favour.
