[His fingers curl against the glass, wishing so badly he could hold onto her hand and comfort her, but alas. At least he can take solace in the fact that she's doing alright, but he can't help but worry, regardless. His face contorts a bit in concern at the mention of the penguins, though, his eyes darting to somewhere further in the tank to see if he can spot them.]

I don't blame them. I don't think they're used to other people in the tank with them, aside from the staff...

[Speaking of which-- his eyes quickly glance at the employee sorting out their keys, determining they were too distracted to overhear their conversation, before turning back to Sakura, his voice lowering.]

I told them you were visiting a relative who worked here, and that's how you wound up falling in, okay? I couldn't tell them how you really ended up in there.

[Not that they really knew themselves, but 'she suddenly teleported in there' didn't seem believable. The staffer, in the meantime, finally gets out the proper key, and turns to Xiaolang expectantly.]

Well? Are you coming?

[He nods quickly to the employee, glancing over to Sakura one last time.]

I'll be there soon.

[And at that, he dashs after the worker as they let him in through the back. A few minutes and the sound of shoes slapping against the ground later, he's peering down to where she is in the water, looking ready to jump in himself. Instead, though, he stretches his hand out to her, calling out her name, hoping he can somehow haul her out.]
