Ssllavina sees the guys, utters her little quip, and turns to bolt for safety. Terrance sees the guys coming and leaps likewise for safety, wrapping his arms around Ssslavina as only a creature made out of many rubbery appendages could. This makes swimming a challenge, as it did last time this happened. The two of you get about five feet out, and find yourselves nostril deep in the water, and moving about as fast as a snail riding a turtle. You hear the guys behind you call out "Hey! Hey, now, come on!" and splash in after you. they actually catch up and begin pulling you out of the water. "I don't know what this thing is, but it sure has a lot of tails!"
