Rain felt her eyebrow twitch as Ryuu casually called out for her to take her time, then around about the same time that she noticed the sea serpent effortlessly cut through the waves in front of her, the otaku seemed to vocally change his mind. It cost her two precious moments to realise what the sea serpent was up to and another to curse at it and realise that unless she did something [b]fast[/b] she was going to collide with the muscular coil. Her ears twitched as the hot merwoman began to chant something in a language she couldn't even begin to understand [color=lightseagreen][i]I can tell now that this is [b]not[/b] going to end well...[/i][/color] withdrawing her hand she clung to the rope tightly as she arched towards the wall of slimy looking muscle between her and Ryuu.


Despite her rather bleak outlook on the situation Rain was nothing if not resourceful, finding herself literally seconds away from slamming into Maruki's side. Forcing a little more adrenaline into her system and tempting her wolf to come out, in a remarkably smooth and fast motion Rain shifted one of her hands up the rope to pull herself up just a little higher whilst leaning back, before swinging her feet up towards her head and past it by a foot similar to how a trapeze artist might move though Rain was lacking a solid bar to even her weight out. She managed to catch the rope with her feet, and hunch herself up enough that she would have skimmed the top of Maruki's scales when she reached him. With little less than a second before this would happen Rain painfully twisted her leg around the tense rope, she didn't have enough time to really make sure it would hold her weight so she was kind of hoping for the best as she passed over Maruki she caught sight of Ryuu's extended hand. 

Releasing the rope she threw herself backwards and reached for him, for a tense moment she thought she was going to miss him completely and that they'd lose him to the waves below. Luckily for the otaku and much to Rain's relief her hand clapped loudly into his, as soon as the chill of his hand crossed her heated palm she coiled her fingers around his hand. [color=skyblue]"Gotcha!"[/color] Rain stated matter of factly as she prepared to haul him up and out of the water, by mundane standards this move should have been difficult for a woman of her build to perform however by Lavanya standards the physics behind it were thrown out of the window. Added with what little momentum the swinging rope had Ryuu was about to fly out of the water so fast that if he didn't hold onto his pants they were likely to stay in the damn water. 

As small of a success as this was, Rain was aware that she was now in an extremely precarious situation, if Maruki managed to finish his death coil she was now attached to Ryuu which meant the swing would be cut short and her leg was likely to fracture if not break under the pressure...which wasn't as bad as it sounded but was a nuisance she couldn't be bothered to deal with. Alongside that if the snake dove under the water she knew for a fact the pulley system above wouldn't be able to stand the stress of it, if that happened she was sure the pair of them were destined for Davy Jones locker. If the sea serpent wrapped itself around Ryuu and stayed on the surface, she wasn't convinced she'd be able to tug him loose without first injuring the beast. Tensing her entire body she prepared to haul Ryuu out of Maruki's reach as the rope lagged slightly with the added weight but continued to drive forward.
