Dais was still confused. With a slight frown of annoyance, he
swam over in the direction of Carri, narrowly missing being
struck by her wildly thrashing hooves.
In a crude attempt at dumbshow, Dais first held a hoof to his
chest right in front of Carri to emphasize how slowly he was
breathing. Then he pointed to Carri, before holding a hoof above
his eyes as though he were searching the horizon. Then, finally,
he motioned for her to follow him (as opposed to the fish)
before turning to swim deeper into the dark water.
Dais just hoped that if Carri could be distracted by one small
fish, she wouldn't lose focus on the search when confronted with
the multitude of other weird things that he had heard dwelt down
in the depths of the lake.

Carri tries to breath slower and gets the idea to use her wings
to swim. She flaps her wings, causing her to surge upwards, then
kicks around 'til her back is facing Dais, flapping her wings
again to head towards him. Clumsily rolling about to try and
both keep an eye on Dais and follow him with her strange new
swimming technique she makes slow progress using far too much
effort.

Dais swims along, occasionally stopping and waiting for Carri
while she catches up, or simply to look around for a house.
Various eyes seem to stare at both ponies out of dark holes and
underlake caverns. Eventually, Dais casts some kind of spell to
make his horn emit a soft light, which makes things slightly
easier to see.
After passing a small shipwreck, various ancient artifacts and a
big treasure chest, Dais finally reached a sign saying "The
Bottom Of The Lake". Smiling to himself, Dais looked around one
more time for the house, then turned back to wait for Carri with
a shrug.
As soon as he turned away, a giant octopus came up behind him
completely silently.

Through her twirls and flips, Carri has a hard enough time
keeping an eye on Dais that she doesn't really notice any
wonders the lake has to offer at its depths. Finally her
struggle to continue swimming takes its toll on her as she makes
one last big effort to catch up to Dais and she decides she has
to rest, landing on what she believes to be a soft rock as she
keeps an eye on Dais.
She finds it strange that Dais seems to no longer be getting far
away from her as she unknowingly rides atop the giant octopus.

Panicking, Dais swam frantically back the way he went, hoping
Carri hadn't been abducted by a giant octopus or anything (or
maybe his imagination was just getting the better of him, he
thought). Just as he thought Carri had to be lost and was about
to swim back up to call in a rescue party, he turned around to
see a giant octopus had been chasing him all around the lake.
Not seeing Carri sleeping on the Octopus, he panicked even more.
Dais would have screamed, but of course being underwater it
mostly just came out as a whole bunch of bubbles. The octopus
advanced menacingly, cornering Dais against an underwater rock.
Dais backed up, full of fear, his hind hooves bucking
inadvertently, his fore-hooves covering his face in a futile
attempt to protect himself, and his eyes clenched shut as he
imagined what was about to happen. The octopus lifted a giant
tentacle up above Dais as if to strike...
Only to throw down a tax form the council had delivered. In
crude ink, the octopus had written something about the form not
being waterproof enough, though it was hard to make out because
the paper was all ripped, torn and broken.
With a huge sigh of relief but still maintaining quite a heavy
shake of fear, Dais nodded quickly as a signal to the Octopus.
The Octopus didn't change its serious expression. With another
quick swipe of its tentacle, it casually tossed Carri off its
head and back towards its home.
Dais was so happy to finally see Carri alive again that he
almost didn't catch her. In the last moment before she was about
to smash into the rock, Dais grabbed her and teleported them
both back to the shore of the lake.
Wasting no time, Dais spat out his breathing tube and started
shaking the sleeping filly violently. "Carri!? You alive Carri?
Are you ok? How many hooves am I holding up?"

Carri wakes up with a sudden gasp, having not realized she'd
fallen asleep, "Up to four!" she answers in a panic as she
checks herself for injuries. She realizes she's okay and out of
the lake. Determining that their expedition is over and that she
must've been knocked out in some epic battle she considers how
to continue carefully. She looks around and gets up, removing
her diving gear.
"Well I guess it's lost for good!" She says unconvincingly as
she tries to conclude the adventure early for her own safety. "I
think I'll head home and sit by a warm fire for a while." She
lifts a hoof to take a step but freezes as her eyes go wide in
realization of what she just said.

Dais grinned broadly. "Phew, I didn't think you'd recover that
fast after being abducted and apparently sedated by a giant
octopus" he remarked, turning to see the sun starting to lower
in the sky "Yeah, I guess you're right. We've got a full day's
worth of house-hunting ahead of us tomorrow if we want to reach
the middle of the Everfree forest. Good searching so far, though
maybe try not too fall too far behind next time?"
Apparently oblivious to Carri's gaffe, Dais began trotting down
the lane back towards Ponyville. "So whose home are you living
in now that yours is gone?" he asked nonchalantly "I have an
extra couple of spare rooms at my house - you're quite welcome
to stay there if you ever need them?"

"Uh..." Carri recovers and starts to trot alongside Dais,
"Br..." She trails off as she nearly tells the truth, almost
making the same mistake as before. She tries to think of the
first home owner she knows that isn't Brash. "Rarity." Carri
goes white at the thought of being caught in the lie, yet with
only a shiver she keeps pace with Dais, not paying attention to
where they're going.
She keeps her lips tightened at that point in the hopes she
wouldn't have to open them again and dig herself any deeper.

"Oh, so you must be staying right here?" said Dais with a grin,
stopping right outside the Carousel Boutique that both ponies
were conveniently passing at that very moment "Great!"
Dais looks around and adds quietly "So, meet me here at sunrise
tomorrow so we can keep finding your house? I hear Rarity's been
to the Everfree forest tons of times, so she'll be able to offer
some good advice. You know, I was a bit sad that I'm not able to
blow up your house yet, but if it means I get to spend time with
awesome friends then I guess it's not all bad. Don't worry, I'm
sure we'll find your house somewhere in Equestria. It'll be all
blown up - I mean, err, found - before you know it."
With a smile Dais began to walk off. "I would pop in for a chat
with Rarity but I'm afraid I have one last order of business for
the day, so I'll leave you here. Just need to tell those rude
ponies who put their fancy new house right where yours used to
be to go away. Anyway, see you later!"
