"You let me worry about my arm. I have two of them, so it's fine."
An odd reassurance, but technically true?
"Listen, I can stay here as long as you want holding you up. You were doing pretty well there, I'm pretty sure you can do it again. How about we make a goal? You float for a set amount of time without touching me and we stop and do something you want to do!"
Bribery works, right? I mean it works on John, so it probably works on Ianto? Especially if he gets to get out of the water and pick something to do? What's a fair time, though, for someone scared of water? 15 seconds? 30?
