Whoa! [He does his best to ride the monster like it's a wild seahorse to stay on top of it. The jerking motion continues once you strike him, but he jumps back into the water and runs up to the nearest pillar, looking down from the platform onces he's finally on top of it, just in time to see you go down with the monster.
And then seconds that feel like hours go by without any movement, his heart beating wildly inside his chest. What if-- what if it got you, and you're having trouble fighting it underwater? You can only hold your breath for so long, even if you do know how to swim.
For a wild, insane, moment he considers jumping in to help. To do what? Who knows! Maybe he could manage to punch it if he dives in with enough force. Maybe he can convince the monster he's a better snack.
Thankfully, he doesn't have to entertain the thought for long because you finally snap into existence beside him. He lets out a relieved breath.]
