[Just like he did when Mello and himself submerged not long ago, Near tries to ignore that tiny detail of being surrounded by water. Being in his Weapon form helps matters considerably, because he knows he can't drown like this, but there is still a lingering anxiety which surely won't fade until they are back on the surface.
He knows it shouldn't take long until they get to their destination, if his calculations are correct, which they always are. But he still feels uncharacteristically impatient, wanting to get this underwater journey over and done with, specially because Mello's ten minutes of oxygen may not be enough if his Meister gets lost.]
How much longer?
[As much as he had disliked being a Rubik's cube in the past, he has to admit that it has its perks, such as being easily carried inside a pocket while his partner is the one who has to swim. He just wishes Mello hadn’t chosen the back pocket of his jeans as the most appropriate place to place him in.]
