[...ah. Yeah, that... would be a concern. While Ebalon knows that he's basically immortal (for a majority of... things, anyway), Mizuki surely doesn't, which is a revelation he has all of a sudden. Yes. Of course. He's stupid. He should've known he was stupid, but here he is, finding out that he's stupid.
He'd scoop Mizuki off of the bottom of the lake and drag him into his lap if he thought it would help or be appropriate at all. As it is, he's trying to give Mizuki some space. A little bit. A hug isn't much space but it's less hands-on than usual.]
It's my fault. I was trying to play around. I didn't think of the repercussions. [He never does.] I won't frighten you like that again, I promise.
["I hate hurting you, I don't want to hurt you" and then he remembers he's still mind-linked with Mizuki since talking underwater is hard, whoops, that slipped out, which is followed by something like this isn't about you, this is about Mizuki which is then followed by another revelation that he keeps leaving the link open.
