[The soothing hand against his back helps a little, or at least it feels like it does. Sampo eventually hacks up enough water that he doesn't feel like his lungs are going to come up with it, and that's a definite improvement over how he was before.]
[His rescuer has a nice voice. Kind of firm, authoritative, reassuring. The kind of voice that knows what to do in a crisis. When a voice like that says that you're safe, it's hard not to believe them.]
[Sampo rolls onto his back again and looks at his glorious savior; the light isn't great around here and it's still raining from the storm, but the person in front of him is just as beautiful as he'd initially thought. A pretty blond with the kind of strong arms that could carry a man to safety. Sampo really wasn't any more into blonds than anybody else before this, but this is the start of a lovely new preference. He's joined the ranks of gentlemen who prefer blonds, and he does so gladly.]
Hey. [His voice is kind of hoarse and croaky because of the saltwater. It's not the most attractive that he's ever sounded, but he really can't help it.] Haven't you already found me, sweet thing? I don't need anybody else.
[Yeah, he's still got it. Even half-drowned and just out of a near-death experience, Sampo Koski is ready to flirt. Especially with a good-looking... wait. Does his pretty savior have a fish tail? Sampo squints at him a little harder, but the fish tail definitely doesn't go away. A mermaid? A real mermaid? Sampo had thought that stories about beautiful mermaids who saved drowning sailors was just the kind of fanciful bullshit that bored pirates told on long-haul journeys, but he sure did just get saved from drowning by a beautiful guy with a fish ass.]
