[ Ophilia steals a teensy, tiny peek at him to make sure his head is still above water. Good. She hasn't unwittingly murdered Linhardt. Yet. What comes as less of a relief is the fact that he seems totally unfazed by the fact that they were both complicit in a crime most heinous: unmitigated! skin-to-skin! body contact! just a scant few moments ago. ]
Wh-why, of course I am! [ No, she most certainly isn't. ] Whatever is it that leads you to believe otherwise?
[ Maybe it's the way she's sweating profusely. Maybe it's the wobbly smile she's trying (and failing) to reassure him with. Or maybe it's the way she's slowly sidling along the water's edge to establish a healthy three feet gap between them. Whatever the case, Ophilia is Definitely Not Okay. ]
