[It takes a lot of effort on Noah's part - the false flower is pulling for dear life -, but after a short struggle he gets Hijikata's head back above the surface. The samurai loses no time drawing his weapon, now that he has a clear mind again, and slices through the vines that still try to drag him back in.]
You lying shits!! Damn it, you seriously can't trust anyone around here, can you?!
[More flowers had revealed their vines to help drown him (and Noah too, because why not), but at the sight of the sharp sword and the damage it just dealt to their peer they hesitate and don't dare raise them within the blade's reach.]
Anyone who can't keep their vines to themselves is going to be fertiliser!! Have I made myself clear?!
[When there isn't an immediate response he feigns a strike, at which there's an immediate panicked chorus of "Yes, yes!!".]
Good! - Here, LeClair, take the shortblade again. We're crossing over.
[He resolutely starts striding across the pathway of rocks, sending death glares at the submerged flowers on either side of him. At least the rocks are steady and dry rather than rocky and slippery, so they ought to make it to the sleeping queen without further incident.]
