The Ausi coughs for several minutes. You duck under the water as his eyes begin to focus. You swim under the growler, grab a hold of it, and swim it back to the shore. You expect the freezing ice to sting your fingers, but it has no effect. It also crosses your mind how long you’ve been underwater without going up for air, but it does not concern you.

You hear the man above you yelling out questions, but you ignore him. You feel better knowing that you saved a man’s life, though it troubles you that you will have to wait to find Jahat again.

            You swim past the break and send the growler floating to the beach. You stay underwater and swim back out to sea. You know that your story will get out; you just hope that no one has a good picture of your face.
