"Mark?"
"Yes, Jackson?"
"Where did you learn to swim? You said you didn't used to go to the beach when you were younger."
"I hated the beach, but since I lived close to the sea I had to know how to swim obviously."
"That doesn't answer my question."
"I hated the beach because of the sea weed and jellyfish but since the small river close to my neighborhood did not have those things, my parents brought me there and taught me."
"That's surprisingly not awful. I was expecting something rough."
Mark laughed. "I won't question that! Something tells me I'll regret if I do so."
Jackson let out a fake gasp. "What do you expect from me?"
"I'm not even sure anymore."
"I must be the best because you only deserve the best."
