[One thing he's never underestimated since their fight in the Golden House was her strength, a strong shove he hadn't been expecting sends him tipping to the side, his butt slipping under the stone. His hand reaches out to grab the ledge of the bridge, but it's just centimetres too far, and with a splash, he goes right into the water of the marsh. He stays underwater for a few moments, sighing inwardly. Let his guard down around her again...
He pops back up, head breaking the surface of the water to look up at her, unimpressed with how she totally just cheated to win a fight that they didn't even get to have.]
Hey, now! We're supposed to fight first! You can't win if the contest hasn't even started!
[Swimming back to shore, he steps out of the marsh completely drenched. Making his way back up to where she was, he stands in front of her, arms akimbo, hair wetted down so that even his ahoge seems to have disappeared. Childe has to slick his hair back just to be able to see.]
Oh, that was cruel, Lumine. You know I won't let such a debt go unpaid for that.
[In a flash, he bends over to wrap his arms around her for a good, tight hug- picking her up too so he can cover her with as much water from his clothes as he can.]
