He'll try to dodge away from them. Sink the ones that are pesky and annoying or painful, hopefully won't mark the landscape too badly, he can come back and fix stuff later maybe.

Flying ones tho.

… Alkali test again?

Sure sure. He'll destroy a bit of the scenery with it, however, and this road is significantly less broad than the Highroad. It is almost a trail.

He'll go smooth over that bit of road and then he will try just flying past the fiends the next time or something.

The fiends here are not super fast.

Wonderful! How far's the Moonflow, he has no idea, can he see it?

He cannot! There are trees and the road/trail and more trees and more road/trail.

(Gee, it's almost like he's crossing a continent on foot/wing.)

(The continent was supposed to not have many people on it, he thought, so he thought it would be smaller, plus they do not seem to have much faster transport so um yeah basically.)

Ugh.

It's a long road, and it will take a few more hours for him to reach the north wharf.

Where he can land and ask if it's safe to cross or he needs to be cautious somehow so as not to interrupt– something?

Sure, he can cross. If he wants to take the scenic shoopuf ride instead of using his fancy wings he could wait a bit longer, the shoopuf with a summoner and his party's gonna be here soon.

He's not sure what a shoopuf is!

It's a large grey thing with four legs and a long nose! It's the most common way for non-winged people to cross the Moonflow, unless they want to go off-road and try to find shallower passages to walk through but that usually takes longer and is more dangerous.

Well that sounds kinda bizarre and he's curious what they look like so he thinks he'll wait to see them and then fly onwards.

There's a disturbance in the water over there.

He'll try flying over that way, in case it's something like a fiend that he needs to try – probably freezing, in this scenario.

Not a fiend. A machina—a large robot, looking pretty beat up.

– And if he looks very curious and maybe shouts, "Hello," at it?

The machina does not react to the shouting.

But then a little door opens up and a person in an Al Bhed bodysuit starts crawling out of it.

Probably not enemy!

Does the person look like they need help?

Maybe a little bit. They're panting and look about as beat up as if they had been inside a robot that was being beat up.

"Oh, hey!" a familiar voice calls Theo, coming from the wharf's direction. "You're alive!"

He turns around. "Hey! I am!"

"—and who's that?" he asks, pointing at the Al Bhed.

"Not sure!" he responds, then goes over to the person who probably does in fact need healing.

In Al Bhed, Theo asks, "You okay?"
