"If you stop every time you get nervous," Kinetar said softly, not wanting to upset his sons, but needing to teach a lesson here, "Then you will never learn things that are more difficult. Rest a little, if you want, that is fine, but take care that you do not rest so long that the next time is as scary as the first. We are here, we are willing to help."
::ching shook but nodded:: "I wanna keep trying," ::he whispered, scared::

Bren pointed to how the waves were moving against him, in and out, in and out..."Like that, they run in and say hi, then run away like they're playing tag."
