Elijah took a deep breath and rested his other hand on his other shoulder, looking at him in the eye while speaking at him with a tone of so much finality, it sounded true.

He let his voice drop to below a whisper, muttering so quietly that only the two could hear.

"And you don't have to become embarrassed for calling out my fuckery anyways because as much as it might look like it, I'm scared shitless right now. And the only reason why I'm not thrashing around like a goddamned psychopath is that the people here are impressionable. The more they see fear, the more they feel it. So you don't do anything that can disturb the water. What we will do, however, is get through this, there is no need for you to become frightened or scared of anything. And that's that."
