While she may not be screaming and fighting and trying to fly away and is less panicked on the outside, on the inside, she is still at odds, that storm of fear still swirling like a tempest. She still doesn't know if she can trust him, or anyone else on this fucking boat, but what choice does she have right now?

She needs to find out what's going on, where she is, who is behind it all.
And more importantly, how to get Garuda back.
