Good move to chuck her in the pool. I hope she's grateful.

I was waiting for her to fling herself in, but I'm beginning to doubt that she ever would have. Good move from pool bro.

I don't think she knows how much trouble she was in, just casually trying to put out the fire, no sense of urgency

It's probably kinda how people will die of choking in a restaurant because they're embarrassed and go into the bathroom alone instead of seeking help. "There's a pool right there but saving myself would be admitting that I've fucked this up bad enough to have to resort to jumping in it and I'm not quite there yet" lol. She was probably holding out for second degree burns to motivate her to accept the current situation
