Asel listened as it continued to speak, and her confusion did not abate. Her eyes stopped watering, and she stopped sniffling. She hadn't been eaten yet, so, that was something.
"I'm... sorry?" She wasn't sure if that was the right thing to say. They still hadn't asked for anything, so she didn't know if there was something she ought to be doing. Or trying to do. Or refusing to do. "That would be bad," she agreed, because that seemed polite. Encouraging anyone to get sick would be bad. But if they'd walked, and couldn't do it again, weren't they stuck? That wasn't good. For anyone. She pulled the quilt off of her head and into her lap.
"Do you... need a boat?" she suggested. She didn't actually have a spare boat. She could always let them have hers, and build a new one, but she didn't think they'd fit. Her boat was not very big. "You can have the boat," she offered anyway, "if you need it to get home. I don't mind. I'm already home, so. I don't need it."
She didn't think she'd be going to town today.
