[ For a moment John is taken aback, just a startled voice through the mist. Then the splashing catches up to him, and the sputtering, and— he has seen Arthur nearly drown more than once, he just nearly drowned, but John has never figured out what to do if someone else is in the water.
Arthur would jump in. ]
Jesus Christ. [ He sounds a little panicked, but what the fuck else is he going to do? John wades back in and strikes out, clumsy and splashing, for Vash. ] Here, just— swim towards me!
[ He has not thought this through. But if he can seize the man by the coat or collar without getting dragged down himself, surely that's something. ]
[Unfortunately, swimming toward John would only be a useful instruction if Vash had any idea how to swim. Even so, he really does try. The splashing and flailing intensifies, though he doesn't actually uh...make any progress, in any direction.
But maybe John can find him from all the noise he's making?]
