[He would be so salty if it was.] It's not even a proper sea we have. When I first saw the beach- [Okay, he's going to take a step back, both verbally and...physically, why not. In fact, he's going to even grab a crab to use as a visual (and also because he might as well)-]
Italy- I'm assuming you know nothing. It's a peninsula. Surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. [So, crab's Italy, and the sea is the waters around it that's illustrated by his fingers making 'this is the water' gestures. Because he might be a Casanova, and he might be a punk, but he's also got a little bit of nerd to him. Not as much as some, but enough that when it comes to telling a woman about his country and his people that he'll make stupid 'here's water' gestures around a crab.] I grew up in the south, in Naples. I left when I was young.
It's a small country, so you can see the sea from...many towns, and so I grew up with it being an ever-constant presence. Do you have any idea how badly it's been distracting me when I look, expecting to see water, and instead it's space? Honestly, I had no idea how used I was to it until it was gone.
