Father Brennan was playing a dangerous game, splashing her intentionally like that. Mable tended to escalate such games quickly, but she would hold off for a little bit. She didn't want to get the man completely soaked - yet. Instead, she sent a splash just a little bigger than his onto his clothes with a grin.
Her eyes widened just a bit in surprise at the mention of adoption, and Mable instantly had a million questions about the subject, but she restrained herself in that too.
"I'm sorry to hear that, Father Brennan," she said, aghast. She couldn't imagine being trapped inside all day long. It sounded horrible. "What did you do all day, then? Have you ever climbed a tree, even? Or held a worm? Is this -" she cut off suddenly before starting again. "Is this your first time in a river?"
His answer would be very important now, because if it was, Mable would absolutely be splashing him with all her might like she had done to her brother so many times before. She was prepared for the consequences too. It would be worth it.
