Slurp It [Klein, Priscilla]

Oh, the thoughts that ran through Klein's head as she made that bold claim... But, no. Even if he doubted she'd be especially useful for finding much of what he was actually looking for, he could certainly make her feel important. That one never failed, and so he turned toward the ocean, gesturing to Priscilla to follow.

"We're gonna get to swimming. There's a lot of undersea caves and such ever since the collapse, so we get to go exploring. Sound like a good time?"

Of course, she'd already committed to it, so as far as he was concerned, she could just follow along without him really needing to ensure she liked the idea. But positive reinforcement did wonders, didn't it? He simply moved with a smile into the ocean, letting his eyes adjust to the salt for a few moments as he waited for his new companion to join him.

Every time Klein spoke, Priscilla's eyes seemed to light up in wonder. An underwater adventure? Searching for gold treasure?? In caves??!! At this point she was ready and willing to follow this guy to the ends of the Earth. "That sounds amazing!"

Priscilla followed her new friend into the cold ocean water. As she moved deeper and deeper into its depths until she was wholly underwater, Priscilla glided through the endless blue as if it were her true home. It was as if she was flying through the air, with no resistance to restrict her movements. She was a natural swimmer and quickly caught up to Klein. The sea salt had no effect on her eyes, which remained open and stared widely at her companion as she waited for him to continue leading the way.

Well, this was easy. Almost too easy, but Klein was hardly the kind of guy who relished a challenge or anything like that. Well...that wasn't entirely true. But, by and large he was all too willing to enjoy something being handed to him on a silver platter. Gesturing for Priscilla to stick close, Klein quickly dipped past the immediate shelf of the shoreline, his gaze moving to the ruined former lands below. All things considered, there was a lot of ground to cover, though not as much as one might have thought.

Well, nowhere to go but straight down. He kept close to the undersea cliffside that was made by the shelf, scanning for anything that might have been interesting. After a few moments, a tunnel that looked far too neatly-carved to be natural became clear, and he swam hurriedly toward it. Seemed like an underground road...might've led somewhere uninteresting, but there was only one way to find out.

Delving right on in, he was almost interested enough not to take a look at his lovely swimming partner. Almost.

As she glided through the water like it wasn't even there, Priscilla's eyes stayed wide and wowed. She had swam plenty since coming to the Living World, but until now the deepest and furthest she had gone was still within eye-line of the beach. Now she was diving ever further beneath the waves, down into an underwater kingdom full of wonder and waiting adventure. At least, that's how the naive Arrancar saw their environment. Anybody familiar with the history of this land would know otherwise. It was a sunken nation, reduced to little more than rubble.

Priscilla knew none of this though. All she understood was this fun, cool guy was bringing her along for an undersea adventure. As she followed him through the endless blue, Priscilla contemplated doing to him what she had done to Kenichi when they met...but that would have to wait. As funny as it would be to steal his trunks, she decided for now he could keep them.

Seeing where Klein was headed, Priscilla thought it would be fun to beat him there. With a sudden burst of speed, which appeared as effortless as any swimming she had done so far, she overtook her partner in crime and swiftly made her way into the tunnel.
