[Bro has no way of knowing whether or not Dave is able to make it to one of the door frames, but he can goddamn hope, because otherwise this whole thing will be in vain. In the back of his mind, he's afraid this is going to be it. That he's gonna die. Again. But he's doing it for Dave, because it's either do this, or Dave gets eaten by a shark. At least this way, they both have a chance to survive. Even if it's really tiny.

What happens when Bro disappears underwater is a blur. He knows what he's doing in a vague sense of the word- you punch sharks in the nose, right?

Somewhere during it all, he does exactly that. It doesn't help as much as he expected, but it disorients the damn thing long enough for him to stab it with his knife. And then again. It's all he can do not to choke on the water as he holds onto the shark, trying not to let it get into a position where it can eat his face.

All in all, this is a little harder than slicing that meteor in half. At least the meteor wasn't attempting to eat him and this shark is aggressive even by shark standards. It's hard to maneuver in the water so that it can't get to him, but he manages to cling to it's underside so that it can't get him. His eyes sting with the salt in the water and the blood from the shark makes it impossible to see, but soon enough he can feel the shark squirming less and less as he stabs and cuts at it, and the splashing finally subsides.

It'll take a long moment for Bro to actually surface though- he has to push the dead shark off of him. But finally, mercifully, he pushes out of the water, choking and gasping for breath.

When he finally gets himself together, he turns to Dave, not looking particularly impressed.]


Well. That happened.

[He swims over to wear Dave is clinging, and backs up to him so Dave can re-cling. You'd think he would be cocky after killing a goddamn shark single handedly, but he seems pretty damn somber. That was just a bit too close of a shave for his liking.]
