"Why is he bleeding?," Celestiel asked Sebastian worriedly. She hurried after Kazeem, who had Theseus in his arms.
"He must have a lower tolerance for water than the witch," Sebastian explained and it suddenly clicked in Celestiel's head.
"Witches are sensitive to water," she said to herself, returning her attention briefly to Theseus. "But is it usually this terrible? He's bleeding from his nostrils, my lord."
"It is usually not but it is most probable that unlike the witch, he hasn't been anywhere near water before so his tolerance is next to nothing," the King explained. Noticing the princess' distress, he wrapped his hand around hers, bringing her closer to his side as they swam behind the siren lord. "I will not let anything happen to the boy, the sirens are my seas' best physicians, they will take care of him well."
