[If anyone could make being flopped into the ocean look graceful it's Iggy. But Gladio can't help laughing as he habitually moves to fix glasses that aren't there. Which means he's distracted enough by the time Ignis comes at him that he doesn't have time to react. He tries to catch the smaller man, to turn this around on him but the water changes how he can move, the weight that suddenly slams into his chest.
The laugh turns into a yelp and Gladio flails, tries to keep his balance, and fails spectacularly. When he falls back it's with a huge splash, a desperate gasp just before he sinks under and he does his best to shove away from Ignis once he's under to give himself a bit of room and to push his way back up to the surface.]
That icon is so dramatic for fucking *swimming*
