There's a slight raised eyebrow from his redhaired companion, a tiny twist to his lips. For how quick his companion had jumped, Esteban was fairly sure he meant that fully, and he didn't want to prod too deep over that.

"I b'lieve you," he settles instead, grinning again, if only to try and ease his new companion's nerves. But he is a curious thing, and the person by his side might have a few answers at least.

"I just got on; name's Esteban!" His greeting is accompanied by a bright smile, leaning just slightly forwards before he shuffles, turning to be able to see his companion's profile as they speak. One of his calves is still lingering in the water, while the leg supporting most of his weight folds, ankle hooking behind his opposite knee to give him more support. He'll probably get pins and needles in a bit, but for now, it's comfortable enough.
