Rey pushes herself as far as she can towards the other side of the pool, until her back stops at the edge. She doesn't yet get out, seeing that the beast -- now definitely a female beyond any doubt -- isn't lunging or attacking her.

But that doesn't put this creature in the clear just yet. Rey's shock shifts to mortification that she's been chattering away this entire time, treating this thing like an oversized dog, when her words were (apparently) being understood the entire time?

"How long were you planning on letting me keep talking before you'd finally piped up?" If that was the plan at all. For all she knows, that was the plan all along. To get information out of Rey while she was so stupidly unsuspecting. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
