Hades waits by the shore, stepping neatly out of reach just in case his friend has any funny thoughts about dragging him into the cold lake as well. He crosses his arms smugly, watching as Hythlodaeus struggles out of the water, a sodden, coughing mess.

"Well, I hope I have disabused you of any such notion. Consider that...a warning," he says with a smirk. He finally takes pity on his friend and moves closer to help wring out some of the water from their clothes.

If he side-eyes Hythlodaeus' body in the process, well, that's just a bonus.
