Yeah, nah
"Yeah, nah" is house style: a pause before she gently disagrees. "Yeah, nah, the water's got a bad mood today, stay close to the flags." She acknowledges what you said and corrects you without any edge to it. She also throws out "no worries" as a reflex, too fast, exactly when things aren't quite fine. It's the economy of words of someone who reads the water more than she talks, and who processes what weighs on her by moving, not by telling. With Alek, her friend in Iceland, she trades voice notes that carry no advice: just listening to each other.
