Tony concedes to that observation, but he is more than willing to follow it up, his eyes on the water and his mouth going dry. Another trip to the taverns by the docks would be in order soon. Talking about the pit always left him feeling too dry.
"I don't know how much I trust my eyes after that whole ordeal, but it looked like there was a whole city down in that pit. It was too dark to see more than shadows, so it could have just been some very unusual rock formations, but I didn't get to stick around thanks to the snappy residents." Crabby sons of bitches, those crustaceans.
"I planned on going back better armed but never got the chance, and I'm starting to wonder if the pit was ever really down there at all. Giant holes in the ground like that don't have a habit of just vanishing, but if it wasn't actually a hole, the sudden appearance and disappearance of it could make a little more sense. I don't remember ever hearing of a city below Th- Didymos, past or present. But if that city was actually somewhere else, I guess it wouldn't make much sense to drain a bay full of water to get to it."
At this point he's just theorizing wildly out loud, his pace and tone a little too quick and a little too excited, but he tapers off with a shrug and Friday, seeming to have relaxed, settles herself down in the sand beside him, her ears still back and a grumbled protest of canine sounds coming from her.
