"Is this your first time diving?"
Rhys was initially going to push himself down to the Surface faster, but after seeing the cenleons panicking, he opted to slow down and fall closer to Edissa.
Edissa was screaming and flailing around, but as soon as Rhys dove closer to her, she immediately stopped struggling and closed her mouth; trying her best to look away from Rhys.
Unfortunately for her, she was still swinging and spinning randomly in the air; her panicked face, showing itself from time to time to Rhys.
"I am going to hold you to keep you steady, okay?" Rhys said as he dove even closer to Edissa; raising both his palm to show he was not going to do anything harmful to him, "So, please — do not eat me."
