Aurelia
Aurelia lets out a startled guffaw of laughter as Melita plummets into the water, suddenly realizing the power in the piece of jewelry that's now stolen into her own hands. "Hey! Thanks!" She retorts jubilantly, a grin spreading across her cheeks.
As soon as Melita swipes and claws and fiends after the anklet, Aurelia dodges back from her clumsy, frantic movements. She proceeds to duck down beneath the surface, feet kicking out away from Melita as she goes. Her hands reach for darker depths; even without a manta jewel around her neck, she's able to hold her breath for quite some time. Perhaps it's a skill she's honed just by being a Torcher; something she'd never needed before but now it's wholly necessary.
She glances over her shoulder to see if her friend is giving rampant chase. Thinking that she must be, she peddles downward faster.

looking in the mirror, drop of rum on my tongue
with the warning to help me see myself clearer
