[It's hard to keep one's calm under a tense situation. It's something that even with all of his jujutsu training, Toge sometimes can find himself struggling with. With the boat being tossed to and fro and footing being difficult to keep, it's hard to focus on keeping calm and steadying his breathing. But he keeps up his efforts anyway, trying to time his breathing with the rocking of the ship. Rock to the left, breathe in. Rock to the right, breathe out.]
[And slowly, slowly, the ship's lurching begins to slow to a level that's more manageable to them. He slowly opens his eyes when Tifa speaks, looking up to her and nodding.]
Salmon.
[This was already a lot better than it was five minutes ago. It's like Tifa said, it's a good start. He blinks at her hand for a moment, before reaching forward to grab it. This should help them keep their footing, or at least keep them from being tossed apart from each other. He squeezes her hand a little and nods.]
[However, he doesn't get moving right away. He pauses, biting at his lower lip for a moment as his gaze drops. Nervous about what he's about to do, but it was fine before. It should be fine now. So after a moment, he takes a breath and looks up at her, before hesitantly speaking.]
We can get through this, together.
[He feels the pulse of power go through him, both like and unlike his Cursed Speech normally would. It's still so strange and a little frightening, but his Dreamotion energy doesn't burn in his throat like his Cursed Speech does. Instead, it tingles through his skin and settle in his chest, warm and strangely pleasant. Tifa will feel the effects of his Dreamotion energy as well; a warm, bolstering pulse of calm and stability, to help ground and soothe any turbulent emotions within her heart. It's not eliminating the fear, but it should help bolster whatever calming emotion she already has within her.]
Sorrt about the delay! Things got a little busy on my end.
