[ though he doesn't verbalize it, he's relieved at the contact against his sleeve (ye, final ascension arjuna minus knife), if just because it means he hasn't lost him on the journey there. (what a scary idea... akira being trapped in arjuna's memories alone??)
but, it seems they've both made it safely across the boundary of memory and reality. the one thing they can find solace in ... since they're now definitely soaked from the landing. the water is shallow and barely reaches their knees, but the splash of their landing was Enough.
arjuna is about to place akira down beside him, but his more dutiful nature prompts him to wait. the mysterious transfer student deserved that much for his efforts, or so arjuna briefly considers. in these thoughts, he steps towards the edge of the fountain, setting akira's feet down on the ledge that surrounds it; nice and dry. arjuna steadies him before, before speaking. ] You have my apologies. It seems I was... carried away.
[ as he often is .... whether in his blind leap or his arrows. ]
