[Action]

[It only takes about four of those until Luke's body finally kicks into action, and he jolts awake as the water is forced out of his lungs to cough it up, then take in a deep, near choking breath of air. Air, air. He spends a moment just coughing, getting the rest of the water out as well as being overwhelmed by the amount of air he was taking in, and he shakes his head to try to get his wits set straight again.

Once he feels right enough to figure out where he is and who's with him (and discover that he's parched despite taking in so much water), he's a little surprised to see just who rescued him.]

Asch- [Oh jeez, maybe talking wasn't a good idea - he turns his head away to cough again. Ow ow ow. Now everything was hurting.]
