ISLA
She'd be more victorious apologetic about what she's just done and where she's just kicked were it not for Varus continuing to glide through the water towards her. And he gets what he wants as she whips around to try and keep an eye on him, her fair hair floating like a halo about her head, before she's trying to break the surface with him. "You scared me," she says with an unnecessarily breathless grin, taking the bump against her shoulder with ease.
Only now it's a game apparently, and she's outraged. "Hey!" she calls, promptly diving back below the surface to seek him out. This is where his metal arm is probably an advantage, letting him sink more quickly, but Isla does her best to propel herself to catch up. Indeed, she reaches out a hand to try and snag his ankle when she's close enough, a wildly smiling ghost in the depths.

apres moi le deluge
after me comes the flood
