[Her explanation, parsed down into something simpler for Noctis' sake, seems reasonable enough. If something else stirs underneath this answer, he either chooses not to dive for it, or is blind to it altogether for now.

Still, the sight of the water before them has a different meaning for Noctis. This vast, red sea. He can only think of fishing, and what might lie beneath the surface, things to be caught and mysteries that he can bring to light, caught on his hook. He's watched, with no dearth of wistfulness, the fishing boats that sway in the distance. The way they toss their nets into the water, and when they pull them back up, weighted with their catches, Noctis wishes he could be closer to see.]


No oceans at all? [A world without the sea. That's too bad, he thinks.] But I get it. The color is really strange, here, but it just makes me curious about what lives in the water.
