[Jeez, is it hot out. Jeans not used to this kind of climate nor has he ever really experienced the ‘fat man in the suit’ kind of Christmas-- to be perfectly honestly he’s not even sure what Christmas is about? From the sound of things it’s some holiday those wall worshipers would have loved. The air is thick with a blazing heat, you know, none of this would be going on in his world. Right about now they would be freezing and snow would be falling, break out the winter coat.. That sort of weather.
They were selling these fancy shirts at the shop in town (whatever you want to call it, campus? Hell, he’s not really used to the term ‘campus’ either) so he decides to get one. Got to fit in, right? More importantly there are mentions of a ‘beach.’ He’s never seen one of those but damn it if he’s not experiencing it. After all, that Armin kid would never shut up about beaches and the sea in training..
The sand on his toes is, whow, does everyone feel this stuff? He quickly puts his sandals back on, the stuff almost feels muddy? It’s not mud.. is it? The festive lights glimmer over the water, who had the time to put all these decorations up anyway, is this just what beaches are all about?]

( That’s right, the water… apparently it’s different from normal water. You find Jean leaned over the coast watching the water come right up to his feet and then go right back in. The concept of current so bizarre to him, his eyes wide in shock but not from fear--just confusion. First and foremost he needs a swimsuit, helping him pick one might be a good idea before getting into the water (we can always handwave that he already had one, however.) Jean would think surfing or waterskiing (and/or whatever else would like to magical be at the beach for students and staff to enjoy) VERY interesting. Sadly, the kid needs to learn to swim. Teacher, teacher can you teach me? Can you tell me all I need to know? Enjoy keeping him from drowning....For a more spiteful option, you could always get him to drink the water. He might carry a (bigger) grudge afterwords though. )

( Anything else in this setting. )

[You're going to have to explain yourself, Sonia. Currently, Jean is way too interested in the water around him.] Hey... I'm not going to sink into this sand or whatever am I? It doesn't feel stable like normal ground.. Feels more like mud, you know?

Do you wish me to do so?

......Well, I guess you can swim, right? [Jean's not used to being around people so 'privileged' if that's the right word. This is stuff normally only interior dwellers would know or have the opportunity to learn unless they lived close to a lake out in Wall Maria.] So there's nothing unusual going on here? This is just what a beach is?

Behold the wonder of the human body!
