[ The hand going down his throat is unsettling enough and once his voice is gone he stares at it go into the shell, clutching his throat in surprise.
And then the transformation comes.
He'd scream if he could. The split is quick and sudden and doesn't feel right and he can already feel himself going into shock... but there isn't any time for that when he realizes he can't breathe.
Oh... so this is why humans can't live under water.
He's already struggling to figure out how to swim with legs so THANK GOD FOR THOSE FISH ]
[THANK GOD FOR THOSE FISH INDEED...Totoko actually waves them off cheekily as they push up beneath Choromatsu's arms and drive him up and out of the cavern toward the surface with more strength than they have any right to have. Thanks to Totoko's spell, Choromatsu isn't pushed back by currents...they're able to push him right up through to breach the surface.
Whether Choromatsu is still conscious or not at this point, the trout carry him the rest of the way to some sort of land he can rest on, just to make sure they don't just dump him in the middle of the sea with no actual way to swim to shore.
And back in her cave, Totoko grips the shell with the sea king's son's voice trapped inside, giggling to herself. Things were going to get interesting very soon.]
