Sohalia
It was amazing, really, how clearly the thunk of Flora's daggers hitting the water traveled underwater. Soh heard another close by, then a flash of scales as one of the echo sharks flitted away. Soh would say one thing for Flora: even infected, she was a wonderful ally to have when in a pinch.
The idiotically flailing human finally seemed to grasp that the swordfish was trying to help him, and he floundered towards shore as Soh shoved him along from behind. They were growing closer to the shallows - and this would be the really tricky part, because Soh's form would easily become stranded in the shallower water, making her a target. As her movements became jerky, splashing water everywhere, she shifted back into her human form, doing her best not to inhale until her head had cleared the surface of the water.
Fortunately, she and the swimmer seemed to have made it far enough towards the shore that the echo sharks could no longer follow. As she shoved the man further towards dry land, Soh stood, knee-deep in water, and glared at the pack that floundered in the shallows. "Serves you right," she grumbled. "Now go bother someone else!"
