Aurora tied the bag tightly, took one last look at Ura and then grinned weakly at Ronin. How could he be so calm, when she was feeling like she was shaking so much, her teeth would fall out!
She stepped over, kneeling to give him a tight hug. "That's very brave of you, I feel a bit like I need a rescuer. One that isn't chicken and curled up in a ball..."
Holding out her hand, Aurora asked, "And would you like me to carry some of that? You'll be able to move better if you have less stuff."

Ronin was a bit confused with the chicken sentence, but he just suggested she referred to the meal yesterday. "That's good then, don't be afraid." This knight game was still his favourite and he had decided that he would never give it up again. Although he first didn't want to hand anything to the princess, he finally came to the solution that it would be easier to wield a sword if he could actually hold it. "I would be grateful." And within a few moments he walked off towards the hallway, not sure were to go at all and holding the dagger in his hands.

Aurora adjusted the weight of Ronin's stuff, and followed him. It was, luckily, the right way and there was still a near-steady stream of people all heading in the direction of the lifeboats. Knowing that he probably didn't have much of an idea, she called, "I think I saw someone we know going over this way!" and lead the way towards where she could remember the lifeboat being.

Ronin was glad about her comment and just followed quickly. All the grown people were pushing and squeezing him badly and he feared that they would hurt him and the princess. What was going on at all ? This didn't seem funny anymore.
And as someone caused him some pain as he was pushed against the wall, Ronin couldn't do anything else but poking him with the dagger. The person screamed and a small bleeding scratch appeared on the man's arm. O holy goodness, how angry he seemed.
"Princess Rora, quick. A monster, a monster !" Ronin called and hurried past the young adult Simu towards the lifeboat, followed by an angry man.

Aurora blinked, and turned around. A monster, on a cruise ship?
She turned around, and stared at the angry man. Okay, that wasn't good. Aurora wasn't sure waht to do, so she just whacked the man over the head with her bag of minibar goodies, told him, "How DARE you attack a retard-affected boy" and rushed after Ronin.
...okay, so it was a lie, Ronin was pretty normal as far as Rora could see. But at least it was a good one.
She climbed into the lifeboat, making sure there was room for Ronin between her and Sarria. That way, he'd be safe. And if that man came, Aurora would ... something. She could throw alcohol into his eyes or something.

Alright, from his state of being a knight this went wrong, but for a moment Ronin decided not to worry about this. At least they had gotten rid of this strange ugly guy.
He climbed into the lifeboat and greeted all the familiar people with a bow. Then he sat down beside Rora and Sarria, because it was the only free space. "You'd be a good knight, Princess Rora." And for a moment he even grinned.

"Yes, but not as good as you'll end up being." Aurora responded, wrapping an arm around Ronin's shoulders and hugging him. Now that she'd sat down, her energised mood was starting to wear off a little bit. Aurora was still so tired, she usually never got up this early and it had been a long night. She shoved the bags underneath the seat, trying to make sure they had plenty of room.
"Did you sleep well last night?"

Oh well, usually he didn't like hugs, but she was his princess and so it would be quite alright. At least Ronin guessed so...
"I promise I will be." He nodded and tried to remember the strange dream.
"Yes, I dreamt about a party. My sister was there and you too and people kissed each other and got angry. I drank alcohol..."
He spoke pretty normal, just like he would be talking about dagger.

"I drempt about it too, but I don't remember the kiss. I remember though that you drank a bit and that there were some other people there I'd never met before?" Aurora blinked. That was kinda strange.

Ronin instead didn't wonder about it at all and just felt how the tiredness crept back into his body. Everything moved so beautifully here on the water...and so he just nodded and leaned against Rora's shoulder before falling asleep again.

Perhaps Sim was genuinely enjoying the spectacle he was making too much that the truly didn't see Zanna's arm, or perhaps it was part of his plan to be the fool all the more that his neck collided with the amazon teen's outstretched arm. Although it most likely was the former than the latter.
"Hgck!" Sim gagged, feeling the impact of solid matter against his throat, sending him sprawling onto his back. He stared up at the ceiling, blinking several times before asking, "Have I drowned yet? If I have, why is it then that I'm dry?"

"What? No!" Sarria called out after Aurora, assuming it was for her clothes again. When the other simu had gone from sight she shook her head slowly, silently hoping that she would return in time if something should go even more horribly wrong.
Seeing Sim ram into Zanna's spear took her mind off of Aurora temporarily, and at the sight she couldn't help but smirk slightly. That is, until she realized that wasn't exactly a nice thing to like, someone getting hurt like that. Although he didn't appear to be that hurt if at all. Deciding not to laugh at Sim anymore she diverted her gaze toward where she thought Aurora would appear again.
Ronin came back with her? Sarria felt a wide grin form on her face as it dawned on her that Aurora had gone back to save Ronin. Waiting until the two of them had sat down, she spoke, "That was a very nice thing to do." She gave a quick nod of her head in the direction of the young boy and smiled at Aurora, looking quite proud of her for one reason or another. "It's good to see you're safe now too, Ronin." She told the simu just before he drifted off, then gave a slow shake of her head and a second smile as she moved her gaze from the boy back to Aurora, "I don't know how he sleeps in conditions like this."

"I ... don't know if it was or not. Anyone of you would have gone if I hadn't." Aurora muttered, shrugging carefully. "I guess it's easier to deal with problems if you doze? He'll just be more alert later."
Aurora glanced up at Kami, blinking. That's right, it was Kami who told her! Aurora sighed, ending up with a yawn and a, "Thanks for reminding me about him, didn't think about that till you said it. And yea... seeing as Ura's now curled up in a frightened... or something... ball in my cabin, I'd agree with that."
Aurora blinked. Had she been obvious last night? It was only asleep Ronin, Sarria and Kami though, so it wasn't too bad. And it distracted her from the noise of the stopped boat. "Um. Well... Ura, was. I just don't have a very good history with him."
As she talked, she watched the people around freaking out, racing around, boats, screaming, crew trying to herd people around... it was a nightmare. They weren't even CLOSE to the ... place where Titanic sank... so it wasn't an iceburg. And the water wouldn't freeze them to death, but they had lifeboats!
