I gently moved Thyrian, even though he was heavy, especially given the state I was in, and carefully pushed him into the water. The moment I did so, his body sank. Worried, I tossed away the warm towel on my forehead and immediately slid my legs in. I let my body sink into the pool and gently grabbed his body. I hugged him tightly and clung onto him, attempting to swim back up, and that's when his legs began to shine, and eventually his merman fin appeared. I stared down at him, his pale face looked better, slightly calmer…
His eyes opened instantly, and panic washed through them. His hands rested on my waist, and he swam upward until our heads popped above the surface.
"What did you jump in for?" he asked, and my lips parted. "You weren't making any sounds or moving," I said, wiping the water from my eyes.
