[ Steve's on his feet now, leaning over to lift the blanket up and toss it far from the water so it doesn't get wet, and he spends a few seconds watching Andyr move towards him, movements a little laden by the water gluing his clothes to him. It doesn't help that he genuinely feels like laughing at his threat rather than take it seriously, standing his ground and hardly one to back down from a challenge. He knows Andyr is strong enough to move him, but he isn't going to go into that water without a fight. And to be fair, it isn't a fight at all he gives him when he decides on what to do. Steve takes a step forward and rushes him, using the momentum of the slight slope to gain a little speed so he can get an arm around the other man's waist and drag them both into the water.
It's not a graceful entry whatsoever, hitting the surface kind of hard and forgetting to suck in a breath as he sinks down with his grip loosening just a fraction. The water's cool but hardly enough to warrant freezing in, and when he breaks the surface, he breathes heavy, letting out an amused sound that pulls at the expression on his face. He feels just as at ease as he had mid-way through that party, like anything is possible, that guilt or sorrow or grief have no hold on him here, and he lets go of Andyr when his head is above water, grinning at him. ]
Guess it did mean I was coming in with you. [ He does whatever the version of a shrug is while treading water. ] Better luck tossing me in next time?
