Eternum chuckled awkwardly, the panic subsiding as he realized that the man was not in any immediate danger. He ran a hand through his hair, slightly embarrassed.
"I apologize, I didn't mean to interrupt. Just passing through and saw you, thought... well, never mind."
His voice trailed off, the steam causing his words to almost dissolve in the air.
"I'm from Halo actually. And I've seen some hot springs but this... this is something else. Honestly, I think if I sat in that water, it'd boil me alive."
The last part came out more like a joke, his attempt to ease the awkwardness of the situation. Despite his worry being unnecessary, he was still glad the man was alright.
