The woman narrowed her eyes at him and looked him over as if she was judging him and looking for signs of any infection that he may have. She was a smart woman for doing so, and in that moment Magnus wondered if she was covered in anything strange as well being hidden under the water the way that she was. He supposed that she wouldn't be scrutinizing him if she was infected, so he trusted his gut and slowly started to work himself into the warm pool. Sitting down on his bad hip, he used his good leg and his front hand to maneuver himself into the pool carefully. Regardless, he caused a bit of a splash since he couldn't walk straight in and he struggled a moment before catching himself on the edge of the pool, then smiled sheepishly at her as if embarrassed for his own difficulties.

She reminded him that the in fact hadn't exchanged names the last time they had seen enough and her words made him laugh a bit, before speaking his name. "Magnus," He said as he clung to the wall of the pool, too afraid to swim out into the middle where he had nothing to catch onto. Despite already being in the water, he decided to tease her about his earlier thought when she had given him the once over. "How do I know you're not hiding any kind of oozing or growths under the water?" He raised a single brow, a smirk playing on his lips.
