[After being laid in the boat (like into a coffin, her mind supplies, uncharitable and unhelpful as that is), Frieda has to will herself to sit up and make space for Need. She feels like all the energy has been drained out of her, to the point where she can't even get any words out.
Whether Need can get back into the vessel on her own, needs Frieda's help - she'll follow any instructions, so long as only she doesn't have to get back into the water -, or opts to maneuver it into shallower water, she'll show all signs of being awake and alert but terrible shaken.]
