It may have not been too jarring for her to hit the water like that but it took Rex a moment to shake off the feeling of the sudden stop- even if he knew it could have been a lot worse. Seeing the water swelling up around the car certainly helped to knock off his daze and thankfully she had said something, since he had immediately reached for the door handle. He climbed out his own window instead after grabbing his pack and dropped down into the pond with shudder at the chill before paddling after her. It took him a little longer than he would have liked since he was attempting to keep his belongings dry but as soon as they touched dry land they ran. 

“This way” Rex veered to the right towards a thicket of trees where a sniper would be hard pressed to get a clear shot on them. He lead them through there- kicking up loose leafs and startling small animals. Soon they had reached the other side and the road was in view once more. Rex slowed- catching his breath in great gasps and displaying a crooked smile for her. “You know hu- morously” He had altered the word hastily before he mistakenly said ’humans’ “people tend to get lost in the woods because they believe they are walking in a straight line… when really their primary foot will cause them to always angle one way more than the other.” He pointed out pointlessly before looking ahead “well, we must have at least covered a couple miles.”
