( stop thirst-trapping him, konoha. he's vulnerable to women with muscles!! mako just. POINTEDLY LOOKS AWAY. )
You know more now than you did then, right? That's worth something.
( he's not exactly an optimist. it's a pragmatic way of thinking — the mistakes she may have made before won't be repeated. he shakes water out of his hair, ending up with it slicked up slightly, and then he puts his fingers to his mouth to whistle for naga, who has... dived off somewhere to catch fish. she pops her head up a few hundred yards away from the dock, and starts swimming for mako. he leans back on his hands as she cuts through the water, obviously a creature in her native element. though he does pause politely at the edge of the dock to make sure konoha isn't about to freak out!! )
