The whole spectacle is mildly confusing. “<strong>Hey boots, it’s water, it doesn’t bite.</strong>” He calls with a mild chuckle. More than that, the number one cause of flipping a kayak is, in fact, trying to not flip a kayak. “<strong>Stop being so timid. Put your…</strong>” He shakes his head as she continues to fuss with it, soaking her seat in the process. These poor kids need to figure out to just put their damn feet in the water.<br/><br/>Regardless, his attention is pulled away from her struggles when the split up between Elle and Edgar happens. He squints a little bit and watches Elle retreat back to the shore to grab a kayak. What happened there? Before he can make out what’s going on, the lazy boy all but rolls out of the canoe and throws his hands up. He seems done with the activity, despite Elle’s playfulness - though his mood hasn’t changed at all. He stuffs his hands in his pockets and makes his way aimlessly back across the shore and toward the cabin without a word.<br/><br/>There’s going to need to be a conversation about that later, but right now Sean has a group of other campers to wrangle. Edgar can’t get far and there are plenty of other eyes to watch him for the time being. Once Elle is in the water and caught up with the others - who all seem to be having their own unique problems with this, which is half the fun of it for him - he blows his whistle.<br/><br/>Elle seems to be the only one who immediately gets the point of the whistle and despite being the last to the line is the first one to take off. Sean doesn’t make a move to stop her either. He waits until she has gotten a full kayak length ahead of the others who, apparently, have been content to sit in line even after the whistle was blown, before saying, “<strong>Uhh, campers?</strong>” He makes a little nudging motion with his head, and gives a canoe a gentle shove from behind with his paddle, “<strong>She’s going to win real easy if you all keep sitting here.</strong>”<br/><br/>The initial send off sees a clear first place position stolen out of the gate. "<strong>No <em>paddlewhacking</em>.</strong>" He calls out, as the others begin. But he really stresses that last word - that<em>one thing</em>he doesn't want to see.
