Sage wrinkled his nose slightly at the mermans comment. "I've been fucked up for a while. I just had someone standing between me and bad decisions," he grumbled. But old habits took hold, and he followed remys instructions, slipping into the water slowly beside him.

Remy swam off slowly with Sage. His tail hurt pretty bad so they had to go slow.

Sage frowned when he noticed the bandages. None of the illusions had been hurt either...so he paused for a moment, turning to face Remy and reach out a heasitant hand towards him. "Are you real," he asked softly, eyes searching his face. "Or are you just another dream?" He hoped he was real....but he knew hope could be foolish. But if he was real....that meant he'd come back.

"Real," Remy muttered, not sparing him a glance as they continued on. He was still upset.

Sage felt his mind spinning as Remy spoke, standing there motionless as his breathing picked up, tears prickling his eyes. "Remy wait," he called after a moment, moving back towards him quickly once he realized he had swam off again. "I'm...I'm sorry," he added. "Please, just....wait for a second. We need to talk about this." He could tell they was still mad, and he didn't blame him but....maybe he'd let him explain.

"We can talk about it later, we're late," he muttered, continuing to swim on.

Sage paused for a second, a little taken back by his comment, but sighed and swam along behind him. He just trailed along behind him, wishing that everything would just slow down. For his mind to stop whirling in circles.

Remy swam down to Rosalies kelp hideaway and swam in, and into the small clearing. Ivy lit up, zooming towards Remy. "DADDY!!!" she squealed, speeding over to Remy and barreling into him.

Ivy did bring a smile to sages face, and he leaned against the wall, watching her swim towards Remy happily. He knew she loved Remy....and the whole scene seemed to make the hole of knowing doubt in his chest grow larger and larger.

Ivy hugged Remy tight before darting over to Sage. "DADA!!!!" she squealed, barreling into him. Remy watched over protectively. Sage wasn't sober yet...
