Normally if Sah had tried to dance with him it would have been an immediate 'oh hail no' from the courier, but given the situation he only resisted for a moment out of reflex before letting himself get pulled close. It was a good thing he had the bubble helmet or there would have been a lot more panicked flailing, but being able to breathe had reduced him to a state of simple mind-numbing fear as he realized he couldn't get any traction and his thrashing combined with the weight of his clothes just seemed to be pulling him farther from the surface.
The glotter made one last attempt to reclaim his prize, little paws grasping onto the back of Tal's shirt just as Sah's telekinesis shoved at the big river hunter. The cheap fabric tore away and the glotter found itself with the shiny prize it had been seeking. Apparently willing to accept the compromise, it didn't even give the boys a backward glance as it dove to secrete its new treasure in its trove.
And with that Sah was able to bring them back to the shore where worried companions were waiting and Tal was able to cough out the water he'd swallowed without fear of more filling his lungs.
"...'anks," he wheezed out weakly after a rough minute, attempting to pat - or weakly punch? - Sah's arm and extricate himself from the embrace.
Though not before his feet could actually touch solid ground.
