> "Oof...I forgot about this part. Sorry."
> How's Raiko doing?
> "Yeah, that happens sometimes. I guess it's to be expected from a drum tsukumogami."
> Chuckle a bit.> "Oh, it's not that bad..."
> Look down at the water.
> Is the wave coming at us?
> "Oh, I see what you mean now."> Float upward until we're out of reach.
> 'Hopefully'? Is it still high enough to reach us?
> Is Waka visible?
> Give it a few more moments, keeping an eye out for her.
> Watch for more waves.
> Will this one reach us?
> Take the time to can the entire battlefield, then, trying to keep an eye on what's happening to Waka.
> Are any waves coming close to us?
> Keep watching to see if any waves do come toward us.> If one does come toward us, dip our chest down toward it so that it crashes into our chest, to see if we actually absorb any water.
