From the apex till the descent, the noises coming out of Roland are a mix of what could be actual laughter with a healthy dose of inaudible, nonverbal sounds. But it's too hard to tell when he's trying his best not to actually scream. As if his voice could outdo Tidus's anyway; the grip against his shirt makes for an appropriate balancing act between the two of them on the water slide side by side, until he's tugged and forced to brace.
Why does Roland have a feeling something else influenced the higgledy knight waiting for their descent...? This definitely doesn't feel like it's part of the plan he agreed on before Rannygazoo disappeared out into the wide open dome. But whatever reservations grow in his mind are useless at the point they're incepted. Rannygazoo lifts the shield at the wrong angle, whereas the original plan was supposed to be to help them softly land on their feet. So at the impact, and the subsequent pull towards the ground, Roland rolls onto the wet ground, completely soiling his clothes, with the entire charade ending as he manages to stare up at the empty ceiling of their already suspicious mission.
There's a lot to take in here, between the ringing of Tidus's laughter and the sharp cries of higgledies who seem to believe they were successful in this venture. Rannygazoo is actually on top of Roland's chest, dancing that higgledy dance, telling him in the very back of his mind that he thought this was the most appropriate course of action.
Traitor. He answers inwardly. But on the outside, Roland is heaving, smiling but not quite, a hand on his forehead while his other arm is laid out to the side. So much for a safe, TRUST ME WHEN HAVE I EVER LET YOU DOWN experiment.
"This is insane," he manages to breathe out, the grin finally forming more soundly on his lips. "I can't believe we've never had a single experiment of yours actually follow-through with the plan." Roland's definitely not angry, but as he sits up to squeeze the water from his ponytail, it's also quite clear he's a little bit more amused than he should be.

"Are you okay? Did you land fine?"
