Looking up at her in surprise and - enjoying how that feels in a way she did not expect. Being moved about like this, so intimately close - and maybe, she might even let her, follow it the rest of the way down.

Her braid well and truly soaked down that there isn't much use keeping it like this. So she moves her hands to find it below the water and undoes the band that held it. Dropping it over the side before beginning to comb her mass of black hair loose. "There is so much of you, how can I reach you all?"
