The shock of the cold water took his breath away, but Duo quickly made his way to the surface with a gasp, still grinning like crazy and shaking the wet bangs from his eyes. He tread water for a few moments, watching Near fly to shore and shedding his shoes and shirt, tying the laces of his boots together and throwing them around his neck and leaving the shirt mostly unbuttoned at his waist. Last was his hair, unbraiding it and letting the water soak into it before he started heading into shore, riding the waves in and jogging up the sand towards Near, wringing out his hair.
"Ya shoulda tried it," he called, laughing happily. "The water's great!"
