[janus rocks back on their heels, getting their head out of the way before anything concerning happens, like what if the boy would have accidentally knocked their skulls together. safely out of clunking range, they watch as matthew splutters and seems to recover, their eyes dark for a moment, then brightening again with satisfaction when he manages a full sentence. sure, it's only three words long, but it's a good sentence. as a general rule, janus is a hunter of few words.]
No. You're not even close. [they administer three sharp knocks of their had to the boy's back, between his broad shoulderblades. the better to assist the remaining dregs of seawater evacuating out of matthew's lungs. in the meantine, janus looks around over the top of the boy's blond head. it would not appear that anyone else is in dire distress. the vehicle fires, the salvage, all of that is going well-- and if janus were to be totally honest with themself, and they do try to be, it's not like they really have much in the way of relevant skills. magic, they can do. but none of the magic back home looked like
spaceships. not the ones that janus knew, anyway.] Your vitals seem very stable. You're a resilient person, whoever you happen to be.
[they wait until matthew's eyes seem to be in focus, before presenting a hand to shake. sand scudded around their tattooed knuckles. they've learned many social skills since attending mythian academy, and here they are, bringing those incredible abilities to bear.]
