Honestly I figured it's just because I like water? [ he shrugs, still not quite looking at mako. ] Like- the ocean, rain, that kind of thing. I'm from Cuba, so- [ a beat, and then he realizes mako will probably have no idea?? what cuba is??? ] Which is an island, so I grew up on the water most of my life.
