Elder Blood Witcher 279 Beach-Time-Sub

He floats there next to them and sheepishly looks at them, "So, err... You don't need help?"

The duo just continue to blankly stare at him until he pulls himself back into his boat and rides off, once he's gone the duo burst into laughter.

Ciri "Did you see his face? Clueless!" she mutters through her laughter.

Reima continues to chuckle with her as they watch the boat zoom back to the sh.o.r.e. Suddenly he gets an idea, "Hey Ciri, ever wondered what the bottom of the ocean looks like?"

She nods, "I've tried to swim to the bottom of the lake near Kaer Morhen, Geralt always ended up pulling me back out while driving off the Drowners..."

Reima grins and waves his hand at her and silently casts the Bubble-head charm, a bubble expands over her neck, mouth and nose. Causing her to panic for a moment before realising she can still breathe. Once she's calmed down he casts one over himself, "This is a bubble-head charm, it'll allow us to breath underwater... Shall we take a look?"

She nods and them both submerge into the water, diving down towards the sand below, once there the duo realise another problem, their vision is distorted by the water... This time it's Ciri who chips in, "View Liquet" she chants at herself and Reima, causing their vision to clear and allowing them to behold the true majes... It's just sand... Maybe they're not far out enough to see any truly great sights?

The continue to swim deeper into the depths, light gets dimmer the deeper they go but it's not enough to black their view. Eventually they start to see various sea life hanging around large rocks jutting out of the ground, various plant-life cling to them and seem to invade the crevices created by the ever-present tides. The duo swim around the area, occasionally prodding slow or unbothered fish with their fingers, Ciri watches amused at they dart away, a.s.suming it was her that'd scared them... That is, until a shadow blocks the light above them momentarily.

She scrambles to Reima, fear of the unnatural habitat inhibiting her movements spurring her to duck behind him. Reima himself is confused, he hadn't heard of any sharks in British waters, though he wasn't an expert or even knowledgeable on the subject. The shadow covers them again, this time seeming closer than before. Reima finally spots whatever is stalker them and realises what it is... It's black and white colours giving it away like no other creature, apart from maybe a Zebra? Either way, the Orca, or Killer Whale as most call them swims towards them in an placid manner.

Seeing that it doesn't seem to be hostile in it's approach he takes hold of Ciri's shoulder and points her towards it, so she can get a good look at it. She's seemingly mesmerised at it's unique colouration and size, "Big." is the only thing she manages to get out as it approaches.

It seems more curious than anything else, it swims around them before getting close to Reima and pushing against him with it's nose. Were he a regular human this would've knocked the breath out of him, fortunately he's not and simply rubs it's almost rubbery skin.

Ciri swims next to him and starts patting it curiously, getting surprised by it's strange texture in the process.

The duo continue to play around with the curious mammal until Reima whispers something in Ciri's ear, her eyes sparkle as she quickly nods at him...

Elsewhere :

On a Scottish vessel following a wayward Orca that'd for some reason or another, traveled away from it's family. The researchers were intrigued at this and had been keeping a close eye on him for a couple hours now, however they'd lost sight of him when he'd dived deep under water. That is, until a black shape almost explosively bursts from the water, the researchers were shocked, not because it'd jumped out of the water, but because of the two people apparently riding it's back! Luckily for them they'd be recording almost everything for a doc.u.mentary that they'd be presenting to the BBC, this was bound to get their program a lot of publicity... They didn't even have to ask the mysterious duo's permission since you could barely make their faces out.

A glowing green Camera floating not far away snaps a few pictures before hiding itself amidst the waves.

Back in the water Reima and Ciri had just ridden the "Orca Express", The Orca's eyes return to normal from it's Axii induced mind control. It makes a calming noise before swimming away, seemingly confused at what'd just happened.

Ciri waves at it as it leaves them before turning to Reima and bickering about how exciting that was, they'd been holding onto it's fin while it travelled a couple kilometres under water, needless to say, they'd probably be the only people that have or ever will ride a Killer Whale.

Reima can't help the smile from forming on his face, he'd been telekinetically controlling a camera he'd previously brought and had it take photo's of them during the peak of the whales jump. He didn't know how they'd turn out but one things for sure, Geralt'll be amused when he sees those photo's...
