She nearly rocked him off his feet, and he knew one day she'd catch him offguard enough that she'd get him down. Oddly enough he looked forward to that day; he found her competence in such things was attractive and it made him proud of her. He laughed with her as they surfaced, enjoying far too much the way she clung to him. His smile was soft and lopsided when she brushed the water from his face.
"Tricksy one!" He declared as she wiggled and slipped out of his grasp. He took aff after her with strong strokes, for swimming was definitely something he did well. He dove just as she surfaced, toes just flicking the top of the water. He dove deep and under her as she looked around, and mischievously he started tweaking her toes before putting his hand around her ankle and pulling her, giving her just enough time to take a breath.
