Well, all was fair in war when she managed to pull down his shorts in the process of him swimming away, causing him to almost lose them. He would have been happy to swim around naked, though he didn't want to embarrass Nancy by walking on the beach completely naked, unashamed of his body.

Lionel looked up to see Nancy running down the beach laughing, and he took off in a sprint, giving chase, smiling just as widely.
