*Air bubbles up in front of my face, presumably from “speaking” underwater*

@Melodious

Oh, there's a trick to that one! You've gotta talk into the bubbles for them to get the sound, not the water. I see that mixup—
*Waves my arm across horizontally*
All the time.

*Silently sits in place, more bubbles calmly emerging from the water rhythmically as air surfaces from me breathing*

*Other than the barely-audible bongos, the only noise comes from a light breeze through a nearby bamboo forest and a distant set of wind chimes*
