Cecilia blushed as well when he said he enjoyed spending time with her. It made her happy and actually a little excited for what lay ahead of them in the coming days. She noticed James slow his pace for her, she then easily coordinating her rows in response. Immediately, she could tell that the canoe was moving straight ahead once more. "Yes, yes it is. Thank you James," she said graciously, taking a moment to tug at her vest near her collar to let some hot air out. It was summer after all. She stole a moment or two to look behind her, seeing everyone do their best with their respective canoes. What stuck out to her was a pair of watery claws that appeared to hold the boat down for Kyle. As remarkable as it was, Cecilia knew she couldn't afford distractions at the moment and so resumed looking ahead. "James, did you imagine before coming here that your first day would be like this?" she asked curiously, feeling confident enough that she could afford a conversation and hoping James wouldn't mind the question.
