Unfortunately for R'nd, Kerrin was distracted by nothing but the sweet taste of victory when their bodies met, the momentum he'd gained in his running start lending enough power to the leap to send them both flying backwards into the lake with a mighty splash. The force of the impact when bare torso hit bare torso almost hurt enough to make the boy regret his decision to attack so boldly... almost, because it was so rare that he ever physically got the upper hand against the much larger rider that it was hard to revel in his success when the weight of his body forced R'nd completely underwater. The fact that his friend had more or less let him win by opening his arms to receive the leaping boy like an oversized catch-ball, however, went either unnoticed or completely ignored in favor of the weyrbrat's cold-blooded revenge - for as soon as Kerrin had oriented himself in the water, both hands were scrambling to push on the bluerider's head for a merciless dunking.
Kerrin smirked when Ayyonth's mind-voice entered his head, and soon found himself laughing just as riotously as his friend had been moments before, his anger all but dissipating in favor of the simple, childish joy of having gotten one up on his friend. "Thanks Ayyonth, I thought so too!" he yelled to the dragon aloud, so that R'nd would not be exluded from the pair's friendly mockery of the rider - whatever pieces of it he would hear over the splashes and gurgles for air, that is.
