[The video starts with a rapid, bouncing motion of the sky as if the book had just been dropped and landed on it's spine before falling open. It's quickly followed by a long yell and a LOUD splash! The image bobs up and down a moment before slowly the book starts to slide and tip over. Water starts to creep up and take over the screen as there's another splash and the sound of a man taking a LARGE breath of air.]

AHHH! Oh man, I think I saw a bright light that time! Or maybe that was the su-[Glub! Opps! No time to try to relax just yet. Luckily there's another gasp shortly after that.] GAAHH! This swimming thing is hard- [Opps, there went the journal. There's a muffled yell before the book is yanked up and out of the water.]

Oh man... it's soaked. [At last there is a view of a rather wet Vash, staring into the journal as he clutches onto a small piece of drift wood. That's a LOT of water behind him.]

Uh... is this thing still working? Ahahaha... heeeey there guys. No need to worry! But I uh, won't be home tonight. Or... uh... maybe a week. [He glances up. A big revealed grin shows up on his face.] Oh good! I can see the mountains from here! Now I know which wa- [Whoops, he got a little too excited, the book joins him back under water as he flips over his little piece of wood. It takes only a few moments for him to surface again.]

Aiaiaiiaiai... man that's cold and was that... salt? I'll just be home as fast as I can, okay?

[In all her life, she has never seen anyone fail so hard at swimming. Oh Vash, you crazy.]

Are you okay?

[Aw! Give him a break! This is only his second time ever swimming! And the first time was in a lake! He's never really seen a wave before!]

I'm okay! I'm okay!

I think. [Just trying and failing to stand back up.]

Would you like me to help you get to shore?

No! I'm fine! I'm fi- [Sorry too busy being pushed around by another wave to finish that.]

...if you can. [His priiiide. Oh wait, he had none.]

[She'll swim behind him and wrap her arms around his waist.]

One step at a time, okay?

One step. Okay. One step. [He can do this. He can do this. It will be slow going at times, but he can do it!]

[They continue on, slowly but surely, until the water reaches about mid-calf.]

You did very good!

Ahaha, good. Yeah.... hahaha. [You don't have to lie. He knows he sucks.] Thanks for all the help!

[He's just going to crawl to the shore now and flop himself down on the sand. Ugh! EARTH! It never felt so good!]

[Don't mind her. She's just going to sit in the water and watch you. What a strange human...]

[He doesn't mean to be rude, but he's just going to lay there for a bit, catching his breath. For what swimming he did it was a lot of work for someone who's never done it before.

After his break he finally sits up again with a VERY appreciative smile.]

Thanks, I really don't know what I would have done if you hadn't come by.

...Drown?

[He shivers, from being in cold water or from the thought of dying? A little of both probably.]

Well, I was trying not to.

[She'll smile sweetly.]

Well, I can try to walk, but it still won't work very well.

[He goes to mention that he can walk pretty well, then stops. That's right, you'd probably have trouble walking, wouldn't you?]

Haha, I guess you have a point. Then could I get the name of my savior? So I know who to properly thank?

[Savior? Aw, you'll get a little blush for that one.]

I'm Keimi.

Thank you Keimi. You saved my life.

[Fzzjttt.]

I-I was just passing by...but...I'm glad I could help.

You might have just been passing by, but you didn't have to stop. I'm very glad you did. [No really. On his home world people are very good at turning blind eyes.]

How could I? You were in danger.

[He could say something about how not everyone would see it that way, but he likes your way of thinking much better.]

Hehe, I guess you're right again! [He shivers again. Oh man, it was going to be a long walk back home in this wet coat.]

[He could say something about how not everyone would think the way you do, but he likes your thinking better.]

Haha, I guess you're right again!

[Nodnod.]

The humans in Luceti are actually really nice. I wanted to return that kindness...

Well, I'm glad for it. Now I'll have to try to return the favor to you someday.

S-sure. If you like to, I mean.

Why wouldn't I want to do something nice and helpful for my savior?
