I'm not sure if I can explain it properly, but... I'll try.
[It won't be easy. It's such an integral part of who he is. How does he even begin to find words to describe it?]
Water is symbolic of life itself, for countless beings in existence. It sustains them, it sustains the food they consume, it makes things grow. In that way, it's connected to everything. Every drop has history no matter where you go. On a natural world, I can feel that... I'm a water seraph. It sustains me, too.
[He reaches a hand out to the sink, grasping, and a bubble of water is pulled from under the suds to rest in his hand, holding its spherical shape.]
This... it looks normal, but it's not connected to anything. There's no world, no life, and no power. It comes from nothing and is reused over and over, never changing. I've never encountered water before that was... just water.
