Goro watched with curiosity as Umi busied herself examining the manhole, unfastening various parts of her costume to lay them aside. He couldn't imagine what she was doing until, in a rather more broken manner than usual, she stammered out an explanation of her power. Her first bit of news -what she [i]could[/i] do- struck him as pretty darn cool. The ability to make blasts of water, not just for offense but for mobility, sounded like a quintessential superhero power. With such a good ability, he considered, she might very well be the star of the show. Of course, Goro would be happy to support her, but a little voice in the back of his head made him unhappy that it looked like he'd be upstaged so early.

However, her briefing was not over. As she continued, Goro immediately found himself raising his eyebrows. [i]Bloat...up?[/i] When Umi indicated her chest, he ended up staring for a moment before his imagination kicked in, and he jerked his head away sharply in embarrassment. His light, focused on the manhole, turned ever-so-slightly red. If asked, he couldn't have possibly repeated what she said next, so scattered were his thoughts. In a desperate attempt to cover for it, he started babbling what he hoped might be helpful advice. “W-well! If, uh, you can, uh, expel that water, you just uh, you know, grab the dummy and shoot it the water straight down until you...um, pop out. And I could, uh...help pull?” 

In front of him. Umi stopped lowering herself, clearly waiting for Goro to help. When he noticed he lurched forward, getting down on his belly with the upper third of his body dangling over the opening. Taking hold of the girl's hand, he slowly lowered her down further, his warm light showering down from above. With any luck its glow would help her find their target. Goro thought it odd that there weren't any metal rungs in the hole, since sanitation workers would need to climb down every so often. That said, he could scarcely think about anything but Umi at the moment, even now that his light returned to its normal shade. He did his best to hold his head steady and hands firm, ready to shine a light or pull up at a moment's notice.
