Quite suddenly things started to go very wrong. It was amazing in a rather horrible way how little time it took for things to go from fine to imminently dangerous. Was there a way she could make the boat slow down? Possibly, but she thought she was far more likely to make the situation even worse by trying so she sat tight and willed the boat to turn the other way. Naturally that had no effect and with a rough jolt they crashed.
This would have been very disturbing anyway but then Pet's eye popped out and started rolling along the bottom of the boat. Great. Maybe she would be so fortunate as to have a kraken surface nearby and pluck her off the ship with one of its tentacles and kindly drown her. Placing a hand over her now empty eye socket, Pet sat in uneasy silence hoping no one had noticed. She finally then noticed that Mr. Darrow was sprawled within rolling range of her eyeball and groaned. At least it gave her a good excuse to discreetly recover her lost eye.
Rather clumsily for her sense of balance was a little thrown, she picked her way over to him and started looking around for her eye. She probably ought to ask after his well being though. "Are you alright?"
