The relief Mable felt at hearing Father Brennan's laugh was more shocking than the water she had just fallen into. She barely reacted to the wave sent her way, because what was another wash of cold water when she was already drenched in it. The same logic should have made it so she wouldn't have splashed the other man back, but Mable wasn't a fan of logic and did so anyways, getting another face full of water for it.
But maybe that was a blessing in disguise. At least now she had an excuse for her misty eyes if Father Brennan were to notice.
"Never too much of a good thing," she said around a grin, brushing sopping locks of hair over her shoulder. What a picture the two of them must be.
"This has been your first lesson, alright? I hope you're taking careful notes, this kind of thing is very important, Father. Here!" With no small amount of effort, Mable stood once again, more unbalanced that before without the taller man's guiding hand. Once she felt stable, she held out a hand again to Father Brennan, urging him to stand with her.
There was a challenging gleam in her eye. "Show me what you've learned!"
