Onward: Blue

[voidtreckermods]

On the second night the ground begins to shake. The islanders seem well versed in earthquake safety and there is no mass panic- from them anyways. They will help any voidtreckers who don't know what to do in such a situation. The shaking is over quickly and is not strong enough to do any major damage though there are some after shocks throughout the day.

More worryingly are the thick clouds that roll out, covering the sky. Despite the memories these might invoke in the void warriors they are normal clouds.

Or perhaps not that normal, dawn breaks into darkness, the sun barely penetrating. Shadows are deep and the temperature cooler. It is not too dark to see, more like an endless twilight.

The monsters do not retreat into the sea as dawn comes. Instead they continue their attack into the day, unrelenting.

The seas themselves are rough, large waves crashing down onto the beach. The current is strong, as if the very sea itself is fighting them.

It's those words that make the smile slip for an instant. Not that he looks sad or anything though - no, if anything, Inigo mostly just looks surprised as he listens to Tidus. It's not like he thought Tidus was a bad guy and that's why his insistence comes as a surprise. No, it's just.. nice. 'I'm not letting you go out on your own.' That's exactly the kind of thing his friends would've told him back home.

Especially when it's followed up by that last part, turning it almost into a joke, a challenge.

"Am I really the one who has to be warned here? You just make sure you can keep up with me!" It's an obvious joke though. Inigo gets it. If he had fallen like that, he would've been more than just a little sore too. Hence why the jeer is followed up a smile with a softer edge to it. ".. Thanks for having my back though."

Tidus knows he's the one at odds here, but it's too late to back down. He'll just have to take care, hope that it's nothing more than a hard knock that won't get in the way of his own swings.

Plus, he can't let Inigo show him up now, can he?

"You're not the only hero around here, you know! Well?" He gives Inigo a quick clap on the shoulder as he starts to turn, letting out a noisy breath. "Let's keep protecting the area."

And then he's walking with a slightly hurried pace, sand crunching underfoot as he scans the immediate area for activity by the small scatterings of fires that litter the beach with dead crab and else.
