There wasn't another tour group ready for the underwater elevator quite yet. A small group of kedan stood huddled on the beach a short distance away, two of them trying to talk the third into going along with the expedition. From the sound of it, the third was more or less terrified that they were all going to drown if they stepped into the bubble.

Erskine was largely ignoring them--either they'd come along or not, and hearing reassurances from one of the sorcerers themselves hadn't seemed to help in the slightest. Instead he sipped water from a thermos-like container and seemed to be enjoying a somewhat peaceful silence with the skeleton.

At the question he turned, recognizing Zelgadis from the network, and shrugged. "Murals. Statues. Squid. Other than that, it's a bit of a blur. I spend most of my time trying not to drown us all." He chuckled. "Although that last time a squid tried to swim right into the bubble. That was pretty funny."
