[ Subtlety is far from Maine's forte. He's a big guy who prefers to use brute force whenever possible, whether that's in combat or in a struggle against stubborn shoelaces. When it comes to his conversational skills (such as they are), he's much the same. He prefers bluntness and honesty in nearly every situation, and it's probably fortunate for the people around him that he dislikes talking in general.
All things considered, there's a solid chance that Maine may not have picked up on a more obscure hint. But he catches the words, hones in on "they did," and looks down to see who spoke.
It's not someone he recognizes, but that's not saying much. Maine barely knows anyone here, and he didn't pay much attention to those stuck with him in the safehouse. Still, he's guessing that this is a fellow Displaced. His puzzled expression gives way to faint curiosity — a decent hint that he, too, isn't from this place. ]
Heard it's underwater.
[ Heard it is, not just, "It is." (He's Trying™.) ]
