Theo skips sleep pretty often, so when he does actually sleep he tends to sleep for a while. Kaede will probably wake up before he does.

They do not sink that deep, he is indestructible and they can fuck off because he knows how to make acid and he has some convenient matter lodged in their stupid mouths.
He hopes it doesn't just totally fail to work.
Oh no acid works alright, they can fairly quickly be reduced to clouds of pyreflies drifting into the aether.

He heals up and then flies upwards again, hoping the floaty thing is not fast enough and digging upwards because that should get him out.
After a bit of upwards digging it becomes clear that in his dash away from the fiends he must've left the space beneath the cave he'd started out in. There is only rock and more rock, and from what he's seen from the outside, likely several kilometres of it.
Well, sideways the number of kilometres he'd have to cross would be somewhat smaller. He could perhaps attempt to return to the main cave.

Yes, well, if that thing doesn't work after like ten minutes of trying that is in fact what he'll do.

Acid! More acid, slowly if he has nothing to work on but – oh look they're in a cave he can make bits of the ceiling rain acid.
That he can, yep, and the fiends don't react well to acid raining on them. They're still fast, though, so it doesn't always rain on them unless Theo actually makes a pretty voluminous... volume... of the ceiling rain.

Yes, yes, he can totally do that and get acid all over himself, gosh, isn't this painful, but at least he's not immobile because he got his wing bitten.
Not yet, at least.
He might be immobile because he got his wings acid'd on. Maybe.
He should also be mindful of not completely destroying the only path regular human summoners have to get to Zanarkand, perhaps.

His wings can be rehealed quite quickly, actually. And he's not destroying it all, he's just… killing the fish. He's not melting all of the roof into acid.
Then the fish shall be killed and he shall be freed of fiends for long enough that he can safely cross the water.

… And then fly up through the hole in the ceiling? He's hoping the hole he made earlier is still visible but if not he'll just dig upwards somewhere.
There's actually a completely natural ramp leading back up to the original cave which he completely missed in his flight from the fiends earlier.
a-little-change
Of course there is.
Well he'll just take that and go see the meteor dog. Which is hopefully still stuck in the ground and totally amenable to being killed by acid.
Nope, meteor dog is not there.
It doesn't seem to have fought its way out of the ground, though. It seems to maybe have just... evaporated... from where it was.
a-little-change
Gosh, perhaps it died from lack of moving room or something, how terrible.
He flies back out the cave. He's pretty sure it wasn't that hard a route to go back along.
