Xaven laughed when she did, seeing the faces that Handse and Cassandra had before he was now laughing, ignoring those two and the group they were with as he now held Vanessa up. "thats me, crazy" he said, smiling as she yelled.  once they were in the water enough she was free from his arms and wading in front of him as he watched her dive down, then come back up on the other side of him. "oh, swimming is great" 

when she brought up the match he grinned. "really, after the jeep thing you going to make me now beat you?" teasing, he was going to say yes, of course he would as he went to say, before she turned and went. "hey, cheater" kicking his feet forward, he swam after her. "cheater" as he swam on the surface, before he took a breath and dove under, swimming underwater now as he switched and was doing the butterfly now, his arms and legs moving in unison and sending him forward in bursts.  coming up he was closer, right at her feet. "im catching.. up" as he started swimming on the surface again.
