We all started to take our leave from Atlantis with me in the back of the group to keep an eye on everyone

"Hey Sean" I said without turning around, felt his presence behind me plus I didn't see him out in the front
"U-um hi, so uh tell me something about yourself" Sean stuttered out, now started walking beside me
"I already told you my name Sean, what else do you need to know?" I tell him still looking forward
"L-like how long have you been here?" He continued to stutter
"All my life, and are you okay? Because you keep stuttering." I said to him, secretly taking out my flask that's enchanted to never run out of Rum unfortunately I can't get hammered only either buzzed or just drunk

"Y-yeah I'm fine, so uh if you don't mind me asking i-if you were here all your life then what happened to your parents?" Right when he asked that question it caught me off-guard that when I was taking my fourth sip I started couching and stopped walking secretly putting away my flask noticing Kailani coming over. I leaned against a tree while she was helping me by patting my back, unknowingly everyone stopped walking to see what's happening. After two minutes my coughing stopped I held my throat, looking at her and gave her a thankful smile then turned to Sean my hair and eyes turned both red and blue
"DON'T YOU EVER ask that again" I said to him while glaring, I walked ahead holding back tears, not noticing I've walked right up to Hank. Everyone continued walking

"Woah woah hey, what's wrong?" Hank asked in a gentle voice looking at me concerned, I wiped away any tears that shed I responded "Sean wanted to ask me questions about my self but one question he asked was about my parents, which is something I don't talk about lightly"
"If you want I can talk to him, I'm sure he didn't mean to offend you" Hank tells me
"It's fine but if you'll excuse me I'm gonna do something that I love plus it helps me relax" I tell him, climbing up the tree next to me holding on with one hand while with the other hand I wave in the air creating vines in different trees, grabbing on to a vine I scream out "ZUKA ZAMA!" pushing off the tree and started swinging to the grotto.
(A/n: yes like Tarzan and "zuka zama" is from the lion guard I have a niece and a nephew that used to watch it, I like that word)

Hank stops for a bit letting Sean and Kailani catch up
"Hey Hank where is she? Is she ok?" Kailani asked concerned, Sean looks down
Hank was about to respond but was cut off by a scream "ZUKA ZAMA!" everyone stopped and saw you swing off
Unfazed by your actions Alexander continues walking
Gabato is surprised by her actions
Hank chuckles and says "yeah she'll be fine" Kailani chuckles along with him
Sean lightly blushes at your actions but snapped out of his daze when Hank tells him "What were you trying to do with her?"
"I wanted to get to know her" Sean said bashfully looking anywhere but him
"Well if you wanted to do that don't mention her parents, it's not a good topic for her. I thought you were into Kailani?" Hank tells him
"I don't know it's complicated" Sean said while playing with his fingers
Not continuing on with their conversation further more, the group continues walking they made it to the grotto and see Evelyn staring at it stand a feet away lost in her thoughts

I made it 3 minutes before everyone else, standing in front of The Dakkar Grotto thinking 'I can't believe the crew buried him there, I knew him better than anyone and he wouldn't have wanted to be buried there...' snapping out of my thoughts hearing Sean's voice
"The Dakkar Grotto...the final resting place of Captain Nemo. Legend has it that his crew buried him in there" he said in awe
" I'll tell you what had better be in there: Nemo's journal" Alexander said while pointing at the grotto with his cane
"It could tell us the location of the Nautilus. I've never been able to crawl in there on my own. Too many fried eggs, I'm afraid" he continued while chuckling
