[ jyn nods in agreement, shifting her stance so she has a decent push off the soft sand.
the rock drops and they're off. jyn doesn't focus on cassian, but she keeps a sliver of her power activated to keep an eye on him that way. her arms haul her through the water, legs kicking. swimming is like riding a speeder. she might have fallen out of the habit but her body remembers it and the pull of her muscles feels like a reminder that they're alive. salt water stinging at her eyes, warm water sliding over her skin, jyn moves like a fish in water, sure and unfaltering.
her hand slaps at a piece of rock hard enough to make her gasp, sucking in some of the salty water and coughing it up as she hauls herself up on to the shoal. cassian is close behind and she shoves her hand back in the water to cover the rocks and coral with a thin barrier so cassian doesn't scrape his hand open too.
she waits until his head breaks the water to crow: ] I won!
[ out of breath and happily tired, she is still smug. ]
