[Alhaitham very pointedly goes to grab onto something once the boat is moving and both of his hands are free. At least the boat isn't rocking as violently now but the nature of the sea has always been unpredictable, and considering earlier he isn't going to put it past her to pick up speed soon enough. Better to be safe than sorry.
And speaking of being sorry, Benedikta certainly doesn't seem to be for commandeering some unfortunate person's boat without their knowledge. Not that... Alhaitham has any particular feelings about it himself, and hey—they are returning it in one piece. Just maybe not as clean as it'd been earlier, which is something that couldn't be helped. Its not like they could get the mermaids to not die on the deck since that's literally the reason why they're all the way out here in the first place.
So in the end Alhaitham simply huffs and casts his gaze out to the distance, doing his best to stave off the seasickness as Benedikta steers the boat back to shore.]
soon..... fingers crossed for you......
