Of course, Eloise moved gracefully through the water, while he looked like a drunken idiot. As he tried to spin himself to face her while still kicking and flailing about mostly at random, he still found himself smirking a bit. "I don't mind a good beating, now and again." Despite his best efforts to be snarky and flirty, it came across as neither as he had to gasp out the words between desperately trying to keep himself afloat and not getting water in his mouth.
When her hand slid across his upper back, he found himself arching into it. Of course, that turned out to be exactly what he was supposed to do. So, taking a deep breath, he did as she suggested and just leaned back, letting her and the water cradle him.
