Devin takes a far easier breath than Aly when they break above the surface, shaking water out of his hair and eyes. He's expecting Aly to be disoriented, so his hold around her remains firm but not restraining. She could have burst eardrums or compression fractures. At least she's breathing, and seemingly conscious. All good signs.
"Easy, Aly, you're alright," Devin tells her, treading in place. He's strong enough to support them both. "Slow breaths."
