It's always tricky to breath underwater. Her past experience, in her world, is travel through the River. The River is not a river, the way this ocean is an ocean. It isn't a physical place, for all the water roars and flows like water, for all she's seen it cave in windows and flood into a room, held at bay for a little while by a physical construct. Breathing in this pathand breathing in the River feels similar. The brain has to be told it can still breath. Water fills mouth and lungs and does not choke, though everything humans are taught from a young age says otherwise. It's surreal and wonderful and takes practice.

Pyrrha continues the only safe route, with no need to telegraph her movements. They swim down and away from shore, so far that they would drown if they lost control of their path and stay human. She checks on Falco regularly and always keeps him in the corner of her eye. Things can change so fast in the ocean.

When they reach the area of underwater ships, the glowing water contains each ship. They're easy to see, while the water around them is dark and impermeable from the contrast. Pyrrha treads water for a moment and motions toward the ships around them. Which one does Falco want to check out?
