Seems like a good place for it. Is it safe to go in? [He probably sounds a bit like a child, but he has no idea if he knows how to swim or not. The likelihood is slim since the only time he'd seen water was in barrels, bottles, and occasionally taps or showers. This much water, even if he can smell the salt in it, it's fascinating and a smidge terrifying.]
S'alright, not like it'll disappear, yeah? [A pause. They don't have to stay on the beach, but that means he needs to think of something else to do.] Do you want to get some food nearby?
It's totally safe. There's a lifeguard and everything. [ wanting to be reassuring, she stretches an arm to point to a woman in a red swimsuit sitting atop the lifeguard stand, beneath a red umbrella. ] If you can't swim or if you're in trouble, they'll jump right in and help you out.
[He follows the line of her arm to spot the lifeguard, and even though the name is self-explanatory he appreciates when she gives a little description as well. If only he could get other people to teach him with such subtly.]
Great. Anything you recommend? I'm not really an expert on good food.

[ lowering her hand, she grins at him. ]
I'd love to get some food.

Alright. I'll show you a typical American experience if I can find it here. We'll have to find a diner. Get macaroni and cheese.
[ it's a little embarrassing that this is the first thing that pops into her head as it is a juvenile choice, but she'll try to roll with it. ]

Speaking of which.] Oh, I like cheese. No shucking clue what macaroni is, though. Sounds fancy?
