Ghoap tangled au.. but when they almost drown..
Ghost is actually.. surprisingly content with it. Fine he's lived a life. Not that good of a life but it sure was something. He's okay with it ending. He glances over at Soap though, and feels an ache in his chest. He wants to do something, say something, suddenly he feels like it can't just end like this.
"My name is Simon Riley." He blurts out. Stupid, why did he do that, that sounded so fucking stupid.
"What?"
"My name. It's not Ghost. It's Simon Riley."
Soap just looks at him bit weird and scratches his neck.
"Well.. me hair glows when I sing."
Ghost's turn to gawk, "What?"
"Y'know. Me hair glows when I sing. 'S been doing it since I was a wee lad and- oh my hair glows when I sing!" The water is up at their necks at this point.
And so sing he does. As quickly as he can, he chews through his words and in his hurry it doesn't come out good, or smooth, or anything nice but the water fills the small cavern all the way up and there's no chance to try again.
They hold their breath, waiting. Nothing happens. They're gonna die here.
And then everything around them lights up.
It's a struggle to the surface but they manage and set up camp for the night. Ghost doesn't say much, just like most of their adventure so far, so Soap goes back to filling the silence with idle chattering about this and that, settling for the occasional hum in acknowledgement from him.
