Aulus nodded to the hair thing not really knowing what else to do; he had noticed that it was different and as far as he was concerned it looked fine either way, further response or thoughts on the matter were not forthcoming.
When the Solar entered the water he frowned; he had been expecting him to hold himself above the water's surface with those strong vines of his but Kailee had already reacted and solved the problem so there was no call for him to send somebody rushing in.
When Kailee spoke again Aulus shrugged and nodded, heading to the edge of the pool himself. Somehow diving in didn't seem like a great idea and so he eased himself stiffly down to sit on the edge before sliding into the water. "C'mon Killer," he called to the fairy type, "you're up first, and Tha get over here too." Still holding onto the edge of the pool Aulus abruptly realised that he really wasn't feeling very confident in the water himself. He knew he could tread water but swimming was going to be awkward, he'd probably look really stupid and he did not want to look stupid.
"Uh... so have you ever done any of this kind of thing before?" he asked after a brief pause. "I mean like lifesaving training, you know, when they have you swimming in clothes and all that.... Come on Killer!"
Killer, who had been hesitating on the edge of the pool, gave a huff and slipped in; he sank briefly before getting to the surface with an awkward doggy-paddle. Thanatos, who was already in the water, skulled lazily under the surface in case a rescue was needed.

Aulus didn't really feel like smiling but he smiled anyway, just a little; he wanted more people to like him so he had to be likable and... well not change himself but.... Oh hell, he didn't know, but he was trying anyway because.... Yeah. "It sounds like fun," he said. "I used to go canoeing a little bit some summers, just hiring for a half day from a place down by the beach and paddling around just beyond the surf. We had wetsuits, because you're nuts to go in the water in the UK without one. ******** freezing."
Anyway, where had he been?
"Right though, yeah. With other humans what you do is get them on their back and kind of pull them along with a hand under their chin; it sounds awkward but it's the easiest way to make sure their head stays above water. Obviously with pokemon you have to improvise, if you're saving them, and if they're saving somebody what they'd do would vary.... For example Solar might get up on top of Munchy and get his vines under your arms to hold your head up out of the water that way."
Killer kept paddling determinedly towards the other side of the pool, his head vanishing below the water occasionally but always popping back up and he was still shadowed attentively by Thanatos.

"Uh." Aulus avoided looking to his right. "That would be... a little difficult." A large number of things were, a lot more than he liked to admit. He'd get used to it though he guessed and it wasn't forever, at least it wasn't if everything went to plan.
Pushing away the well trodden path of worry Aulus pushed away from the side, treading water as he watched the pair of pokemon perform the rescue first on Kailee and then on Killer, who started squirming and hissing.
the dripping Sylveon protested as he was carried back towards dry land.
Thanatos popped up out of the water, blinking in bemusement.
Aulus' raised his eyebrows. "Well, we know that works then, good, well done," he said after a few moments with a nod to Solar and Munchy. "It's fine Killer, you can start back from where you were," he added, guessing the reason for the usually calm fairy's consternation.
