Kona backed away from the water. No interest in learning. Pure terror about being in it. He was alright being ON it but being IN it scared the hell out of him. Miro never got it but he had a phobia of being in the water. He was fine being on a boat on the water but never in it. He watched as the men over there were floating around or flailing. That was so not going to be him. Nope. Not at all. He backed away from the water more and sat on a crate. Besides...dresses were not made for swimming in. Especially not in a loose corset that would still make it so he drowned. He didn't plan on revealing his secret yet either. Especially since Ikol missed the fact that he had slipped up and told her it. So luckily that was one ackward moment adverted...for now.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Miro looked at her. Hearing her whimper he had patted her arm. He looked at her. "Trust me. Trust you." he said softly. For a moment while he waited it was like he was standing on a tail fin rather than feet. Then it was gone like it had just been a figment of the imagination. Some of the men were closer to them. As she laid over his arms he turned them so he could place his hands on her side. Looking at her. "Okay...now..." He cut off as he heard some of the men go why can't he teach us to swim. Why is it Ikol gets to learn from him? He spoke loud enough to be heard. "I did not offer to teach you to swim. I neither like you nor see you as serving a purpose. The only people I have seen that are of importance and use is Ikol, Kona, Rat, Archer, Cleaver, Tes, and Gunner." He said. He didn't mention Butcher as he didn't know how many knew. In other words if you weren't one of those forementioned people he didn't care if you drowned. The unspoken words just as clear as the ones he had spoken. His silence afterwards faded as he looked at Ikol. "Kick your feet up and down slowly. Up with. one down with the other." He looked at her. "Okay now move your arms up and down like you are reaching through the water. Pulling yourself while you push with your feet." He said. He smiled at her. "Don't worry. You won't go anywhere. Holding you in place." He said softly.</span>
