He chuckled when she mentioned the temperature of the water - it was chilly.  He was certain the waterfall had something to do with it, but he really didn't care.  It was invigorating and refreshing and he knew he needed it.  He closed his eyes and dropped below the waterline, scrubbing his face and his hair before surfacing, wiping the water free.  "Yeah, I know how to swim.  I probably couldn't survive in the ocean, but I can survive here..." he laughed.  His movements were far from graceful, a clear difference from him on land, but he moved through the water fair enough.<br/><br/>He swam closer to her, his lips curling into more of a smile as he got closer.  Oddly enough, even though he was nude, he felt safer like this, more comfortable bringing up topics that he normally avoided.  There was already nothing between them, nothing to hide behind... so why do the same with topics?  "I did want to tell you something..." he said, finding a rock under the water to stand on, so long as he kept his balance.  He paused for a moment, trying to figure out how to put a flurry of thoughts into words, "I have better hearing than I think you and Abby gave me credit for..."  He let those words dangle for a moment, wondering what she'd say to that.
