Axius chuckled at the question. "Brainwashing is manipulating someone in order to make them do whatever you please. And don't mind it, your behavior is not your fault." Meras realized what was happening and covered Axius in water and quickly drug him to the floor of the lake. She then dispersed back into the lake, leaving no sign that she was ever there. Axis could breathe under water due to his bond to Meras, but he did hate his fur being drenched. He waited patiently to see what would happen on the surface.
