[ Yeah, Blake's pretty sure Akechi didn't have the eel tail last time she saw him, so, it's safe to assume that came from the water. At least he still has legs, though. She's jealous.

Blake glances back at the flooded ballroom; the marble pillars, the warm lights reflecting off the surface of the water. Here and there, bubbles float up to the surface in little whirlpools. ]

I think I can find a way out, and make it back to the convoy by way of the river it's next to. I'll... probably have to stay in water until this fades.

[ Blake half-grins, sheepish. ]

It's okay, you don't have to carry me out. I'm probably stupidly heavy right now; this tail is like twice the length of me.
