sage dove down and swam around for a moment before he had to come back up for air. He saw the girl treading water on his way up and groaned inwardly, shooting up towards her and popping up next to her.

Quinn held back a squeak and jumped quickly through the water, disappearing like a seal from a polar bear. She hovered underwater, waiting. It had already been 2 minutes... she knew she could do this. She swam around, then swam down and hid in the murkiest depths of the river. She knew she could stay under for at least another minute, and she would still have plenty of air to swim away or swim to the surface. Her ears popped slightly, and she knew she was probably about 15-20 feet down. She watched for Sage, tense and ready with a slight smile on her face

Sage huffed out a breath and dove back down after her. She could hold her breath longer than he could, which was definitely a disadvantage for him. She'd probably win, but that was alright...he was having fun anyway.

Quinn suddenly saw Sage and dodged, swimming back past him then turning quickly and swimming back down. She was trying to confuse him... but it almost confused her. Quinn went up to the surface for air, taking a deep breath

Sage halted and spin around for a moment, trying to figure out where she went before popping back up to the surface, gasping for breath before shaking his head like a wolf and paddling after her again.

Quinn spun and started to dive again, but she was a little slow.

Sage floundered after her when he saw her turn and dive again, but he was just slightly too far away, so she managed to twist out of his grasp. He rose again, panting. They had less than a minute left...he had had fun, but he could just hope whatever she wanted him to do wasn't too embarrassing.

Quinn had finally run out of breath, she swam back up, gasping for air. She couldn't quite move fast enough when Sage lunged at her, so she didn't the salmon trick and tried to squirm her way out. (I REALLY can't think of anything I'm tasking you with that so... you catch her lol.)

Sage managed to catch a hold of the belt loop on the girls pants and yank her back towards him gently before wrapping an arm firmly around her waist and bringing them both up to the top. "Gotcha," he wheezed, very out of breath. But he'd had fun..and he'd caught her, which he sort of hadn't expected.

(Loll alrighty xD)

(Thank you lol)

Quinn groaned, going limp. "Fine. You win." She chuckled, wading to the shore when Sage let her go. She hopped up, sitting on the muddy ground while dangling her feet in the water. "If only I wasn't wearing jeans. If only I was wearing ANY pants WITHOUT a belt loop" She mused, a teasing twinkle in her eyes. She stretched her arms. "Okay okay, you win bragging rights and one thing I have to do. You can think for ... an hour. I'm going to dry off." Quinn laughed slightly, standing up and walking to the campsite. She looked around for a spare blanket, trying to use it as a towel. Once she was mostly dry (though her jeans were still dripping but ... they just don't dry well) she sat on the warm grass and started to let the sun dry her off
