She remained suspicious. He was good, though, and did not give her any leads before it was time -- and trust her, she was watching and waiting, all the while knowing something awaited her. There just was no telling what exactly. Everything about this whole turn of events was utterly unexpected, and plenty unpredictable as well.
When he did move, it was fast. Her senses jolted in response and she came alive, half-rearing herself up to meet him with a hopeful tangle of limbs. If she was going in the water, which was now inevitable, she intended to do her best to take him down with her. She growled playfully, although tumbled awkwardly into the water with an unceremonious splash.

She could adapt to this change of medium. The water added a whole new element.
