[As he sinks further and further down, it feels as if the siren has stolen the very breath from his lungs, weakened his body so that he can barely move, helpless in her arms. The burning sensation of needing to breathe gets completely ignored as the imposter strokes his hair, gazing upon him as if he were her dinner rather than her lover, and all he can do is gaze back with complete admiration and devotion. He'd let her do what she will with him, he'll drown right here just to know the satisfaction of dying next to her, feeling nothing else but joy as his life slowly ebbs away. Whatever she says to Yoimiya doesn't really register, all he can hear is her beautiful voice filling his ears even now, though muffled.
Suddenly, the siren lets go of him, some kind of screech echoing through the water accompanied by an explosion, but he hardly has the will to move, his vision beginning to go dark as he drowns. Tartaglia's body hangs in place for a moment before it's suddenly grabbed, a necklace placed around his neck that generates the bubble that supplies the air he needed so desperately to live, coughing up water violently as he sucks in oxygen. Although Yoimiya's landed a critical hit on the siren, Childe's reverie hasn't been broken- he looks over to the siren, expression still blank as the monster writhes in pain.]
AAAAARRRGHHHH!!!! You'll pay for that!
[It's clear that the attack was more than the monster was expecting, fangs sliding out from behind Yoimiya's cute face as it rounds on the blonde. But the siren has tricks up her sleeve, those pointed teeth curving upward into something more menacing, letting her song fill Tartaglia's ears again.]
♪ ~Beloved, protect me from the monster who tries to take me away from you~ ♪
[He responds immediately, turning on Yoimiya to grab her wrists, eyes almost lifeless as the siren swims up behind him to lean on his shoulder, smirking at Yoimiya. Her pain is still visible, the siren unable to keep herself from bending over in some amount of pain from the terrible burn on her back, wincing and shaking with anger even as she mocks Yoi.]
Did you think you'd freed him? I already told you, he's already under my control and mine forever. I was going to eat him, but I think he'll make a better slave at this point. This necklace will let me keep him for as long as I want...
[Her hand comes down to brush her fingertips across the necklace and then up Childe's neck and jawline, to get another jab in as she ponders how she wants to kill Yoimiya.]
♪ ~Tartaglia, you're my willing slave now, obey me forever and ever more~ Now do my bidding and get rid of this eyesore~ ♪
Of course, [he responds, voice flat.] Yoimiya, my beautiful light in the sky, my master...I will obey.
[He lets go of one of Yoimiya's hands, a blade forming out of hydro energy flashing inwards towards her neck, but stopping a hair's breadth away from it. Something is stopping him from completing the deed, and the siren notices it.]
