Bonnie holds on tight as the boat gets into motion. Resolved to help, she picks up one of the paddles and...perhaps due to her Dragoon training she actually does help contribute to effort. If an oar can be used by a legendary samurai as a sword, why not the same for spear training?

In any case, it's not very long at all before Bonnie spots a shadow out in the thickening mists, "Over there, kupo. I think I see something!"

When Bonnie points out the shadow, Ena immediately spots it and she feels her heart sink into her stomach. That was a bad feeling if she ever had one.

Though she'd stopped rowing, the boat was still gliding along the surface of the water, either because Bonnie was still going or simply from the momentum. But after a moment, there's a deep crunch sound and the boat almost comes to a sudden halt. Ena peeks over to see the sea literally freezing over rapidly before her eyes. She tries to break apart the ice clinging to the boat, but any water exposed to the air just immediately freezes over again. How were they going to get away like this?

The larger ship was now clearer in the mist, and was heading slowly towards them. The ice is no problem for it, as it just breaks apart as it moves through. Ena leans forward towards Bonnie, hoping the ship wouldn't crash into them.

Bonnie kept up a few more strokes after Ena stopped, but she was observant enough to notice the change. She stopped as well but really at that point it was hard to say whether it was momentum or something else that kept them going. She winced at the crunch and held on tight to the side of the boat.

"Oh I hope we didn't hit someone, kupo." She slowly peered up over the edge and then blinked in shock at all the ice. "How strange...I wonder if..." The sound of the ice breaking pulled her from her musings. She turned around in time to see the ship looming towards them but her shriek was muffled by her own lunge meeting Ena's movement towards her.
