"I'll hold you to that," Steve said, up at her, raising a hand to the side of his mouth, making it louder.
He's got a grin, because she goes at it like everything else. Testing it for seconds, before she's takes off. Jumps straight in.
Which just makes his smile get thicker, when he gives her five or six steps before he's headed after her. No stretching needing, but then he's already gone through several things that might as well count as warm-ups through the last five or six hours. Including his morning and the long swim.
And, since when would he consider stopping for anything once it's started. Five, six steps and then he's headed after her. Arms tensed and up. Steps wide, fast and flat. Propelling him upward like small spring boards faster with each one. As he gets into the pattern. Faster and tighter movement with each one. When the world is sheering off in waves.
Everything is down to steps and the kick of his heart rate, shortening breaths, coming in through his nose.
