"The ability to breathe underwater would be helpful." You aren't the type to be jealous or covet things, save for where the animal kingdom is concerned. There are simply so many fascinating adaptations in the world that you will never experience because your body has been designed in such a way so as not to need them. That, and you'll never linger in and around the water long enough for such a mutation to occur. Nor do you have the time (or time-machine) to breed one into your genetic code.
You don't wish for things on your birthday (or even acknowledge it); but were you the sort for such things, mutations are most certainly what you'd ask for.
"We know how to swim." You observe, following easily behind Kai. And indeed, neither of you. "We've been around water before." It isn't clear to you whether or not you're meant to be piecing together bits of your past, but it's hard for your mind not to make connections.
