Eskel barely registered her presence before following Kijani's instructions. He walk toward her through the mud, putting one foot in front of the other. For a moment, he even thought about grabbing his comlink and summoning his guards. But decided against it however, as the prince was worried that any extra movement would alert... whatever the hell it was that was in the water with him.

When he reached end of the swamp and put his hands back on solid ground, he looked up to his savior. She was sweaty and clearly dressed for physical exercise, but that didn't hide her natural beauty. For a moment, he forgot he was mere seconds away from being eaten alive by a horrible swamp monster as he looked at her. 

He was shaken out of his daydream at the sound of something breaking the surface of the water right behind him. Whatever it was, it cast a massive shadow over him and Kijani.

"Help." he said, while standing perfectly still.
