(Sansa's Tully blood has surfaced enthusiastically thanks to their new environment, taking her somewhat by surprise. She is dressed in a white shift and she is barefoot, standing on a rock near the sea. Her auburn hair is plaited neatly down her back and she is smiling at the rolling waves below.)

I don't believe I have ever learned how to properly swim. I need lessons; can anyone provide?

(Or there's just the "jump in the water and figure it out" method. She would rather not go about it so crudely.)

The water looks refreshing. Is it cold? The sun must warm the uppermost layer, but the depths have to be freezing.

Do you know how to...swim...? (She is distracted by his appearance, blinking Tully blue eyes in cautious curiosity.) That is my concern. I never learned how to tread water properly.

I can't swim.

[There's a double meaning to the words, the twist that he so often uses since Sunai monsters are incapable of lying. No, he doesn't know how, but also, he's incapable of being able to learn since his mass is too dense for him to be able to properly float like a normal human was capable of.]

Where I came from didn't even have the ocean or a lake nearby.

Then I suggest you stick to the interiors of the islands. (And avoid boats. Sansa watches him for a moment longer before looking away. It isn't polite to stare, but what is he?)

What did you do for water?

[stealyoursoul]

I plan to.

[He's sure his adoptive older brother will get him on a boat eventually. Just as long as he's 100% sure that it won't sink the moment he steps foot on board. Leo can see her looking. He'll gladly answer if asked, but it seems a lot of people here are used to weird creatures like him. There's more than one person around here who isn't human.]

Pipes brought it in from the other territories.
