[ Finally, Ciri has a moment to actually look around now that both of them are theoretically breathing and not sinking. Around them, floating dead in the water, are a couple of the bug-things from around the crater. Beyond them, more water. And beyond that-- ]
Look! [ Ciri tugs at him, swimming toward what she's just noticed. A spark of hope, at last: a sandy beach, visible over the bobbing waves, and past it the silhouette of buildings. The shape of them, from this distance, is tentatively familiar. ]
I- I think we're in Andromeda Bay.
[ It's not close, exactly, but it's doable. And in the bay, the waves aren't as large as out in the open ocean. They're going to be okay. She won't have to try to portal them again, risking even more disastrous results.

I need you to hold onto my back.
