[color=ed1c24]"Hey, don't worry about me not having fun,"[/color] Helena said as they paddled out farther, [color=ed1c24]"I'll have fun anywhere, so don't worry."[/color]  She paddled, enjoying being above the water.  Many people had no access to water activities like this, so she felt extremely fortunate.  Looking back at Edmond, his face was still anxious, but there was nothing much Helena could do to help.  His suggestion at switching paddling, Helena said, [color=ed1c24]"Well, usually you paddle at the same time, for better control and speed, so maybe we need to find a better rhythm?"[/color]  She took her oar out of the water and continued, [color=ed1c24]"You paddle and I'll join once you get a rhythm, okay?"[/color]  They were about halfway out in the lake, a good chunk of their water journey already over.
