[ he'd been enjoying the view, watching the unsuspecting mr. crab scuttle his way across the sandy floor. he almost starts talking again, about to wonder aloud where mr. crab's home might be, if mrs. crab is waiting for him already. but then he feels a little push — a strange current and shift in the water, and suddenly he's drawing even closer to the little guy. he glances around in mild surprise, but upon seeing juvia's smile he just grins at her. his laughter is caught up in the bubble, muffled in that strange, contained echo. flashing her a thumbs up, he swims down even further, till he's near laying on the ocean floor himself. the crab had paused a little with the extra current, but upon sensing no real threat, continues along its way. unbeknownst to it, lance is right behind it, doing his own poor imitation of a crab walk. he keeps glancing over his shoulder.
[ She mimics his action, following after him just to glide across the very top of the ocean floor. Juvia laughs when she sees him fooling around— although the sound won't travel, Lance can see plain as day that she's enjoying herself. Even though she doesn't join in, because she's sure she can't beat his amazing display, she lets her fingers trail through the ground as they move alongside the crab. The sand flutters up the more she dips her fingers in, leaving a pathway behind.
It looks like the crab might be indirectly leading them somewhere, though.... It's faint, but the blue of the ocean can't hide it— they're heading towards a forest of kelp that reaches up high into the sky, swaying with each gentle movement of the water. A look of curiosity is sent Lance's way as she lets herself hover away from the ground, above Lance and his crab, inching closer towards the sight. She won't leave him behind, but she's more intent on touching the kelp than playing with the crab. ]
