[Mikleo's only response is a spark of laughter echoing through their shared mind, openly expressing delight in a way he so rarely does, and never to this extent before. Sorey isn't wrong about one thing- experiencing an ocean for the first time really is like a piece of himself sliding into place, one he'd never noticed was missing until he feels it. It's wonderful, beyond description. It feels even better with Sorey like this, and he lets that be known, too. Water is a part of him, and he a part of it, but it's not the only part that matters. To share this feeling, something beyond anything he's ever felt before, is just... perfection.
As soon as he recognizes that Sorey's granted him full control, he twists their body away from the shore, legs kicking, arms knowing instinctively how to make them move through the water as smoothly as if they'd always done this. He lets his power and influence spread around them, like flexing a muscle, and the water pushes them forward with every stroke. Alive. Alive. It's the one word he keeps coming back to, bouncing around in his head, and after the dying moon, after the sickness, after all the malevolence they'd endured, it's like all of it has been leading them to this place- alive--]
It is... like it goes on forever. Can you feel it? Like- a heartbeat--
