The real fear subsides when Johnny gets hold of him, though the adrenaline takes a while longer to disappear. By the time he's pulled himself out with the help of Johnny - it's remarkable just how much weight drenched clothing adds - and flopped onto his back on the stone floor, he's no longer frightened, just breathing heavily from the exertion. He closes his eyes and gives a nod in reply to the question.
After a few moments of just lying there, catching his breath, he opens his eyes and pushes himself up onto his elbows. It's quite a pleasant room, actually, and his eyes wander briefly over the well-lit and well-kept surroundings - quite a change from the other room - before they settle on Johnny.
It's Seth who should be asking if he's okay, given Johnny had what a temporary mental breakdown. Even if Seth was quite literally thrown into the deep end, he just had a bit of a fright. "Don't mention it," he answers finally, examining Johnny, making sure he's alright.
