Write To Me & Escape

The man laughed silently as he swam to catch up with the grey dame before him. It had been a long time since he had done anything like this...well, not for survival, but for fun this time. The last time he had been in deep water was when he was being drowned when a rather angry octopus was trying to make a meal of him, but the brute had shown it who was boss both on land, and in the water! He had torn off the creatures limbs, forcing it to let go of its potential prey and then Dragon had made his escape back to land, remaining tentacles in tow on his bruised body. He remembered when his siblings had laughed at him, the way the tentacles had left ringed patches through his fur and on his skin. His mood had changed from scared to fun when he laughed about it. It was indeed a comical sight, he looked like his body was covered in polka dots!
Focusing on the girl in front of him again, he watched her as she rose up to get an intake of air, and then return into the water again. Her body seemed to move gracefully through the depths, like a dolphin through the clearest ocean. Even under the cool water, he felt his face turn red and hot, why was he thinking that!? It had caught him off guard, distracting him enough for him to not realize that his hind leg got caught in a few twisted scraps of sea grass. Glancing down in alarm that it might be another octopus, he shook his leg trying to dislodge it, but it had only ensnared itself around both legs, strapping them together. Glancing back up to see if Aeil had noticed, he quickly brought his legs up bite at the bothersome plants. Water poured into his mouth as he tore at the vegetation, strips floating around him as he freed his legs and kicked away. The brute shut his maw once more, cheeks bulging as he attempted to hold what little air he had and the mouthful of water he hoarded. Once his head broke the surface, he spat out the water and splayed his ears in embarrassment for a quick second. Diving back down again once he had refilled his lungs with the crisp air, he went after her again. Thank god she didn't see that! I would have died of embarrassment!
Pressing on, his body swayed side to side like a shark closing in on his prey. In this case, she was the "prey" he was after. A smile spread across his lips, canines flashing briefly as he came up beside her. He pressed his nose briefly to her shoulder, as if saying "Gotcha." Then he swept up and over to her other side, diving a little ways below her before finally coming up underneath her and carrying her upwards upon powerful shoulders to the surface. Both creatures broke the surface, droplets glittering in the noonday sun as his laughter broke through as well. He swam forward, powerful limbs slicing through the water as he carried his vessel. He glanced at her, warmth evident in his eyes.
