[ Makoto is certainly not a singer herself, but she's determined to learn as much as she can about the culture of this world — both for the sake of the Circle, and because she finds it all fascinating. That means enjoying their musical performances as well, and so she winds up sitting near Rion as she begins to sing with the mermaids.
Her eyebrows lift gently, because she wasn't really expecting anyone to join in, but it's impressive, and rather bold. No doubt the mermaids will be impressed as well, and once Rion finishes the song she is on, Makoto claps (as well as one can underwater, anyway), before addressing her. ]
That sounded remarkably well-rehearsed. Are you sure you're not part mermaid?
