The bubble of air appeared around his head just as Tal's lungs gave out and he gasped in a great lungful of what he expected to be water. When it turned out he could actually breathe safely some of his panic started to subside, though he still moved his limbs in uncoordinated fits and starts, unsure of how to move beneath the water.
The glotter took Sah's kick directly on the nose and tumbled back in startled pain. Tal was released, at least for the moment, but he didn't seem to know quite what to do about it as he kept one hand wrapped firmly around his frenemy's wrist and the other flailing in an attempt to head up. His boots weren't helping his attempts to kick, and said kicks weren't particularly effective when he kept bending his knees and trying to find something to push off of instead of propelling himself.
Sah would figure out fairly quickly that Tal had no idea how to swim, though at least thanks to his air magic the courier was no longer panicking and drowning.
