He's not one to back down from a challenge, though, and this is apparently something Stella needs to do, so he nods, tugging off his overcoat and boots, then loosening his collar to give him space to breathe. He doesn't have any swimming trunks, and he's not too keen on getting shirtless at the moment anyway, so he leaves the rest on, striding forward and diving right into the spring. The water is warm and soothing, but he doesn't dwell on it, immediately kicking away from the shore.]
