And there's that nearly human laughter again, something between a girlish giggle and a melodic chirp as Elleru prances in the shallow end, getting behind Rey again to nudge her to her feet. She dips her head under the water, aims her head for Rey's back, and dives forward gives her a push—

And wow, is this upright much heavier than anticipated. Her head collides with Rey's back with a muffled thunk beneath the water, and it's nearly like hitting a wall. Her neck twists awkwardly as she trips over Rey herself; she's grateful she's floating a bit on the surface and thus drifts to one side, or she would have stepped right top of her new companion. It probably wouldn't have hurt, given the water and the fact this strange upright is as immovable as a mountain, but it certainly would not have done either of them any favors.

As it is, it takes Elleru by complete surprise, so much so she forgets herself. "How sturdy you are!"
