His reaction at first was to be expected, and so Paisley barely even flinched when he began denying her joke of a request. However, when he called her by her first name it threw her off a bit. It had been a while since anyone addressed her as anyone other than Private Maika or Lieutenant Maika. It was almost refreshing in a way.
Her reaction was only more thrown off when he stuck his tongue out at her, causing her to almost giggle at the silliness of it. That too was refreshing, all of it was honestly. Paisley hadn't seen Stellan this relaxed since well... ever. That smile though quickly turned dumbstruck as he snatched the boot and flung it into the lake.
Standing there she stood with her arms outstretched towards the water, her jaw wide open as she choked on the sight of watching the bubbles signal her boots untimely descent into the water. "He didn't"
"Stellan!" she finally managed to get out, already beginning the process of sliding off her bracers. "When I get that boot back I am going to wear it until it falls apart at the seams! Just to burst your bubble!"
Someone who didn't know Paisley may have thought she was actually mad about it. But as Stellan should have known by seeing Paisley actually mad before, she was still joking around. After her bracers, Paisley slid off her bow and quiver before gently setting them down on the ground. After that, she removed the shoulder armor and chain mail along with the greenish shirt she wore under them.
Standing in only her undergarments and breeches Paisley then pulled her hair back, tying it back behind her head with a leather strap. All of this took place over a matter of seconds, and by the time she was done her clothing lay in a small pile next to the boots Stellan had made for her. She wasn't shy about her current attire, in fact, she hadn't even fully processed the fact she was standing very underdressed in front of a man.
In an instant, Paisley was then running towards the water, at first stepping off the bank before fully submerging herself as she swam in the direction of the bubbles. She was under for what may have seemed an eternity as she searched beneath the water's surface for her boot only to come up empty-handed.
