He never, ever let his electronics reach that low, and he certainly did not let his characters reach that low in health or mana. And yet, here he was, with only 33%, not only his phone, but his laptop as well.
And he was so far away from any sort of power source, it isn't even funny. That being said, it doesn't help that he was trying to avoid anything dealing with the summer heat with a beach umbrella being his only protection from the sun. Everything had been charged up to full power overnight, and yet somehow, everything was already so low in power that his nerves were starting to burn with the anxiety.
Now he was sitting there, nearly glaring at the little battery symbols as though he could get the energy from the effort to transfer. It didn't. And his fears of it all shutting off on him would soon become a reality.
"C'mon, Eugene. Have a little fun. We're at the beach, and you're supposed to be doing more than just playing your Angels and Demons."
He slowly shut his own laptop. At the very least, he could save some battery power by not using them both at the same time. And with it carefully placed inside his bag, he looks up at the other.
"The cliff side is hardly considered the 'beach'. A-and I've told you before: I'm not good with diving a hundred feet to water that I've never been in. Or diving…" Or swimming, for that matter. His eyes shifted Fetch as she jumped off the edge, before going straight back to Delsin, just in time to watch as he rolled his eyes.
"You don't have to dive. You could just splash your feet around, or something. C'mon. You forget that there's a world outside of technology, and you should experience it."
He looks down at that, because not only does he know that Delsin's right, but because he's also gets that the reason he was asked to come along was as a way for all of them to hang together. And it's really hard for him to actually press for his phone to shut off, but when it's off and set on his bag, a hand's offered out for him.
"Just relax. We wouldn't throw you into the water unless you told us to." He gives a timid nod and slowly grabs that hand to help pull himself up.
When he finally decides to settle inside the water, he finds that it's a lot more enjoyable than he had initially believed. He never lowers his head into the water, but he does cling to a rock to watch as Fetch runs up the side of the cliff with a trail of Neon right behind her, and for Delsin to run and jump off the edge with a trail of smoke behind him.
Part of him decides that...maybe 33% isn't always as bad as he had believed.
