The streaming slows to a stop, but Xaldin is still motionless against Xigbar while his very being adjusts to the world and the offences committed against it.
When he finally manages to make a noise it is a faint keen of pure agony.
Xaldin nods, very gingerly, and makes the same noise.
Actually avoiding all things Atlantica related seems like a good idea right now, but he can't exactly say that until whatever passes for lungs and vocal cords start cooperating again.
As soon as his head breaks the surface Xaldin starts to look better, and it only takes one powerful stroke to send him out of the water and fully into the air.
He takes on flying fish shape in the water for a reason.
When the last trailing bit of tail clears the water he goes back to his normal form, and then just hangs there and breathes.
Hell.
No.
Where the hell is Demyx when you need him?!
Good thing Xigbar has an Elixir, and is more than willing to pry Xaldin's mouth open, and pour the medicine down.

Is this what it's like for the others when they're out of their elements?

It's mostly psychosomatic at this point. "It was. Never again."

It'll be a while before he stops vibrating to the remembered pain.

Milliways isn't safe.
