Doing your best is all anyone can ask of you! That is what father tells me. As long as you try your best, even if you fail, you have nothing to be ashamed of! You just learn what you can from things and get stronger so you don't fail the next time.

[So, Steve is right. Lingering doesn't help anyone. All it does is keep the person who is lingering from moving forward and becoming stronger.]

I am glad Lord James is going to be okay. He was hurting so much when I found him, but he didn't want to let me know. I could tell, though! He wasn't moving right or breathing right. I noticed and Kit did too!

[Diarmuid gives Steve a curious look.]

Why are adults like that? Why do they hide things from people who want to help them? We can't help if we don't know what is wrong! We are friends, right? And friends help each other just like your friends back home helped you! I want to do that for you and for Lord James!

[He knows he's little and that limits what he can do, but he has a bit heart. That counts for something, right?]
