He's probably not expecting the collision that ensues-- his weight collides with Ilde's hip and tail and the momentum drives them both further until Ilde gets her bearings under the water and then there are cold, small hands clutching in his shirt and around his arm. Her nails dig in, but she doesn't mean to, it's just that she isn't very strong and dragging him is hard; there's a moment where it seems like she's about to let go and then the water is pushing him up, too, faster than she could've pulled him.
Water doesn't usually do that, but it tends to roll over for Ilde like a kitten when she wants something.
