[say]“Do you need me to show you?”[/say] Evie is only ever coy with him, but it makes it all the easier to be sincere in her desires when they are already so intertwined. Happily willing to call his bluff and scar whatever unlucky citizen happens across them in the springs.
Of course just because she has her mind set on flirtation doesn’t mean she isn’t wary of his antics, even if she has sparse defenses against them. Some things can be relied upon - pushing into water, splashing, messing up hair. She has come to memorize his bag of tricks even though they never fail to make her laugh, years of experience never dulling her reactions.
So of course, the moment he turns to her she tries to scramble backwards, but there’s no escape to be had. And squeak she does, though it’s more of a squeal-laugh as she clings to his shoulders in the vain hope of not falling gracelessly should he choose to dunk her. [say]“If you drop me you’re doing the dishes alone tonight!”[/say] she threatens breathlessly against his bare skin, trying to cling like a lanky koala bear to support herself.
