[To say Childe was surprised was not an understatement. He hadn't quite expected the other man to be so limber and hop up so. Effortlessly. He'd done it with a smile on his face too-- it was definitely second nature to him.

When Mario peeks over the edge and calls out to him, he laughs, elated.]

You weren't kidding, huh. Alright, I'll give it a try.

[Childe climbs up onto the railing behind him-- he's sure he could do it. He's scaled worse, he's sure. He'd gathered hydro particles in the air itself to allow him to stand midair exactly one time, but. He had a good few years of training on him.

He jumps, hands catching the ledge. The water pouring down on top of him was a different matter than the jump itself.

This is not to say Childe isn't flexible or strong, but he is very human. Mostly. And humans tended to find breathing hard when water flooded their air passageways. He shook his head while coughing. He grips the ledge a little harder and pulls himself up with shaky arms. His hands reach for the railing so he can hoist himself up and away from the rushing water.

Drenched on a level not previously known, Childe stood, coughing out the last of the water. He laughs and gives Mario a thumbs up, when he can breathe easily.]

All good.

[They were at least a little higher up on the ship now. A whole new area to explore.]
