Tal listened eagerly, trying to imagine what it must have been like...
Though treading water sounded like Deimos had been in water too deep to stand in, and the courier shivered with a delicious hint of fright at the thought. It was fun to imagine it here, safe in Halo where water was safely frozen, but the next time he went to Torchline...
"Damn," he whistled, impressed in spite of his intention to play it cool. "Oh, hey, wait a sec--" While Deimos settled his sapling Tal cast about until he found a watering can nearby that still had some of that rare unfrozen liquid in it. He fetched it back to give the little citrus plant a drink, pretending to focus on that while he snuck a glance at his friend.
"So, uh. How'd you learn to swim, anyways?" A question asked with a self-conscious clearing of his throat. "Is it hard?"
