She was not coughing at all.
"Oh no, no please! Please, you have to live-please..."
She does the only thing she can think to do. She lays Delilah back down and gives her mouth to mouth. Her warm, soft lifts gently brush against Delilah's cold ones.
She is still breathing not that well but it started coming back a little.
She lets out a sigh of relief, smiling
"Good-good, ...you...you're going to be ok. Y-you have to be ok..."
She was unconscious though so yea.
"..."
She gently tucks Delilah's hair behind her ear and strokes her cheek. She starts singing softly, her sweet, peaceful voice filling the air
"...Where would we walk...? Where would we run...? If we could stay all day in the sun...?"
she was still unconscious but she was slowly come back.
"Just you and me...and I could be...part of your world..."
"m.."
???: "DELILAH!"
"Hf-"
Pearl's eyes widen and she quickly goes back into the ocean, swimming off before Delilah fully wakes up
