K doesn't know what a beluga is either, but he does his best to picture it. He does in fact come to the conclusion about speech underwater, and it makes him smile. He's not sure if it's that there is so much in Vrenille's world that he'd like to see - a good chance; there's a lot in Duplicity, and there had even been things in Los Angeles he was still discovering - or merely how Vrenille describes them, how he bothered to notice the things he now tells K about, but he likes hearing about them. The impression makes him laugh, low and pleased.
"Sometimes I wish there had been more species capable of speech on Earth," he offers. Mostly he doesn't bother, or remembers how humans have treated the next closest thing to themselves even though they created them. But sometimes. "Why embarrassed? Do you know? Is it cultural, or did something happen?"
The entrance to the big reef tunnel is well marked, even if the walls on either side weren't constructed of floor to ceiling tanks giving just a glimpse of the teeming, darting, active life on the other side of the glass. They curve gracefully to the narrow passage through the exhibit, and this is where K slows - this is where he remembers that he's running a two out of three streak for encountering trauma in his friends, and he watches Vrenille for signs of the same when he sees that the water will be over them as well as close in on both sides.
