[ ko was nearly beaming with relief to the point that his teeth were so close to exposing in the warm glow in using manna— a crooked smile that doesn't last when water sloshes around their ears with movement. a fish? the dude just kicked it, and the accelerated beat of his heart had made ko forget the stinging around his shoulders when the vice grip clamped around it.
he could barely make out what it was, but it wasn't in their interest to stick around long enough to find out. its what ko hoped for when he nodded curtly secured his hand around the other's to emphasize keep his grip on him before using all his limbs: forward, thrusting back, and kicking to cut through the water in the way and move. not only does he swim, ko manipulates the flow of water in his favor, with each flag and swipe of his arms, or kick of his legs.
that makes for quite the fast swimmer, but so was the beast lurking just at the corner of murkiness in their eyes. by the time its gained the same bursting momentum, it's already upon them with a whack—
one that ko tries his best to evade with flexibility at best, but always, go damn always making sure he's the shield in between. ]
