For once on this station, victory really does feel like victory. Yujin can endure getting a little wet for that.
Of course, it's a mistake to forget about the magic a second time. Just as he shuffles over to Stephen, the last of his laughter bubbling away, the other man brings his hand down like a knife. Yujin might be fast, but he isn't fast enough to evade a man-sized wave crashing into him head-long.]
Hey! [he starts, and never finishes: he's sputtering water in the next instant, stumbling backward several steps. So much for that earlier drying spell. Yujin, a little damp before, is streaming water all over again.]
You're-- [Chuckling, Yujin fruitlessly wipes at his face with a sleeve that is just as wet.] --you're an awful cheater, I can't do magic!
