Drowning

Duchess didn't say anything else as Segin had almost offered her a silent company. She moved more forward into the gentle waves of the ocean water, the chill between Boreas and Auster and the permanent moon making her legs and shoulders numb as she submerged into the waters. Her blind gaze briefly turned with a side eye towards Segin as the thought of putting herself under came across her mind. The weight of the crystals would make it difficult for her to stay afloat and if she just went under now the tide and water break would have pulled her further out to sea. She couldn't though. Not with Segin watching her. And it wasn't because she knew he would save her but she was saving him the emotional trauma of experiencing her doing so and maybe even an after guilt if he couldn't save her. She sighed quietly as she stood in the water, letting the waves carefully brush along the crystals and break apart the ooze that was stuck to her fur.
