tears in.“What plan is it?” Callum suddenly had a bad feeling about it.“I will teach you how to swim once we’re back in Damoria.”Callum was bad at swimming because he had a fear of water. “It’s fine. I don’t want to learn.”“Why?” Elspeth asked puzzledly.“I almost drowned when I was younger, and I feel scared whenever I get into the water.”“Why did you almost drown?” Elspeth frowned, not expecting him to have experienced something like that.“It was because of Arthur,” he uttered with his eyes shut.
