[Need pushes her way through the water and clinging aquatic weeds towards the boat, which has drifted a few feet from where she left it. A nearby astonishingly ugly leathery-winged bird takes off as they approach it, and Need heaves Frieda up so she can lay her in the bottom of the boat.
By this point river water has pierced her clothing and started to make its way through her chest perforation and into one of her lungs. It's cold and feels very unwholesome. Need, as she performs her habitual scan for threats, takes an experimental breath or two and determines that if she doesn't speak too loudly or without pause she'll still be coherent.
The hut follows, still tilting as if looking at them with the knob of its door.]
