Cougar doesn't bolt out of the water, instead taking his time to slowly exit, clothes sticking to his skin. He settles his hat back on his head, even if it's a little like sticking a flower on a pile of bullshit to make it better. Crooking his finger, he inclines for Jake to follow him, because fixing it doesn't happen here.

He needs someone back where people live and Jake can stay there and soak, but Cougar has to travel to get it. Turning, he gives Jake a look that he should be able to interpret as 'you coming or fucking around some more?' without having to say a word.

Cougar will say this, having a built-in translator is very handy.
