Respect? Respect?! Mao was a demon! He wasn't supposed to be respectful! And using blackmail to try and make him perform a delinquent act like that... He wasn't sure whether to be revolted or impressed. But like hell he was going to back down so easily.

"I refuse to commit such a heinous act! If I have to, I'll get them back myself," he announced, reaching out to make sure he didn't run into anything. It would be difficult, considering they were still under the water, but maybe if he froze part of the pool... But then he still couldn't get to the bottom. Dammit. Well, he wasn't going to ask for help if it meant that!
