Ronin frowned as he saw the increasing amount of water inside the boat and glared at the other male simus around. Knights ? Never...how could they just scream or do nothing ?
His eyebrows almost kissed each other and the youngest of them all shook his head in disgust. He had never really learned to swim and so he was pretty much shocked as the water hit him. For a moment he lost the orientation and a wave covered him with a blue blanket of water.
But Ronin was very concentrated and tried to move back to the surface by the usually dog-like swimming technique. As he was close to reach the air again he spotted his little bag out of sudden. His flute and the diary were in there ! Without really thinking he started to crawl through the water towards his suitcase. It was getting quite heavy within the water and it seemed almost too difficult for him to push it up to the surface or onto the island. But he couldn't let it go, he just couldn't...the flute was a present from Ray...

Aurora didn't panic when she felt the boat start to give underneath her. She clenched worked fast, grabbing the matches and the blue tarpaulin, shoved them in a side pocket in her bag, zipped it up and shoved it in the restraints of a life jacket just as the boat gave way. Then Aurora let herself sink into the water with the boat, not fighting the suction. Aurora didn't bother to fight her way to the surface at first, sinking underwater calmly as she started to tug off the sodden clothing, it was too heavy for swimming. Aurora didn't panic about the bag, she could see the bright contrasting colours of her bag and the life jacket above her.
When she'd managed to strip off the thick heavy clothing that was weighing Aurora down, she kicked and swum back up again. Aurora surfaced with a gasp, clutching to the life jacket and bag tightly while she got precious air back in her lungs.
Aurora stuck the bag's strap in her mouth, and started to swim for land with the life jacket and bag trailing behind her. This didn't take as much effort now that Aurora had lightened herself, the fast moving waves propelling her towards the sand quickly. Soon she was dumped onto sand with her bag, and Aurora managed a weak throw to get it into the bushes away from the water. SHe glanced down to check that the ring was safe, it was, so Aurora stood up, legs shaking and body scratched from the ungraceful dumping, and tried to see what the others were doing.

If Zanna had been angry and irritated before, now she was just seething. Of all the incompetant, lazy, and selfishpeople she was with, she still couldn't begin to fathom why none of them, save the child, even tried to help row them to shore and away from the sharp, impaling rocks.
They didn't even move to save their own lives, much less those of everyone else.
If they wanted to not work together to save their own lives, why should she help them anymore? That decided, the teen made sure she had all her weapons and that her pack was still secured to herself, grabbed the rope she saw floating by her, and then swam to the shore after Rora.
Unlike Rora though, Zanna kept her clothes AND had a plethora of weapons strapped to her, so even though Zanna was stronger, the Simu took much longer to reach the sandy shore than the other.
The moment her feet touched sand Zanna pulled out her spear and used it as a walking stick of sorts, helping her walk onto the beach. She looked down towards Rora for a moment before looking back out towards the ocean and the rest of the Simu before returning her eyes to the island and surveying it absently.
"Make sure to tell everyone that I wish them luck on their survival." Zanna spoke to Rora as she pulled her clothes aside from her swimsuit off and wrung them out, which she threw over her shoulders while the Amazon evaluated her own situation.

Aurora blinked at the statement, and stared sideways at Zanna. "...what do you mean? You can tell them yourselves, you know."
She looked back out to the water, not sure if she should be going out to help the flailing others or not. Aurora didn't really want to, and there was NO way she'd help Ura. He could sink to the bottom for all she cared.

"I mean I'm leaving. Lead shoes don't help people swim you know, so I'm dumping the lead shoes." Shrugging her shoulders, the teen gave the older Simu a sadistic grin before surveying the beach and the flailers one more time.
"Obviously I'm not leaving the island, just the group." Looking up to the sky, she saw two tiny dots that looked like birds and sighed, absently thinking of Elijah and hoping he was somehow okay. Despite her current thoughts of him she was still scared of the idea that he may have died, and that it was all her fault.

Lead shoes?! Rora blinked... then stared abck out at the swimmers. She meant those...
Oh, okay.
"Why are you leaving the group? I mean, it's not like we're that bad to be around. I think." Aurora didn't sound too convinced, she'd just spent a day on the lifeboat with them and was already on edge when it came to flutes, harmonies and pink.

Urahara had every intention of glaring and retorting in response to Zanna's own glaring and whatnot, but he was abruptly cut off when Sim again started screaming. And that was before the boat starting really sinking. But then again, it did actually sink.
"woahshi-" Was all he managed to get out before having to take a deep breathe as his body was pulled down from the force of the small boat's sinkage-ness. The teen let out a few bubbles in disgust and displeasure of the situation before finally surfacing with a big gasp. It took him a few moments to get treading down in a comfortable manner - damn heavy boots, but he was so not going to let them sink to the bottom and lose them! ******** that - and finally looked at the others and their reactions. Though, as the sinking had taken its toll, he was unable to continue watching as the waves began to pound against him and began to carry him further towards the island.
He turned his head a little to the side, half avoiding the sting of salt water in his eyes, and stared at the shore not too far ahead. Well, wasn't so bad, his mind rationalized, also a bit surprised he wasn't again going into paranoia. What was it with the ocean that made him calm? Or maybe he was getting a clue or something... Ura's hands shifted suddenly realizing that he had at some point dropped his sweatshirt, he inwardly groaned - as another wave slammed into his head. It was one of his warmer ones too. He tightened a hand around the strap to his, thankfully, saved carry-on that had been slung over his shoulder and continued to let the waves carry him towards the shore.
Or slam him into the lovely sand, which was what they were going to do anywho.

"Maybe I just want to see how everyone survives on their own, without weapons or knowing how to hunt efficiently." Zanna smirked at the idea of Sim or Kami having to find their own food and failing miserably, "That and I can't take much more of the whining."
Spotting Ura, the teen thought for a moment before making a decision to bring him some food just in case. She didn't want her ally dying on her because he was too weak.

"I'm sure we'll manage... I mean, there's lots of birds and stuff."
Aurora crossed her arms when she saw that the sea hadn't gobbled up the red head, and shrugged as she turned away from him slightly. He could have fun with the sand.
Although, she was a bit disapointed. No Zanna meant that there wasn't anyone around who knew how to take care of themselves! ...well, apart from Ronin, that kid seemed to be older than he looked.

"How much meat do you suppose birds here have on them? They weren't exactly bred for food like the supermarket chickens have been..."
She raised an eyebrow and leaned on her spear somewhat, letting the sun help dry her and her wet clothes off a slight bit. Later, the teen'd have to spread everything out and dry it to avoid rusting and molding, among other things.
"I should leave before they reach the shore."

"ow..." Ura hissed, when the water finally spit him out onto the sand and rocks that it called a shore. Gripping the sand, he pulled himself up and away from the pounding of the waves and shook his head in attempt to get any water that had lodged itself into his ears, out of his ears.
Upon hearing voices, he glanced over to the two females and frowned. Damn, Aurora survived.

"There's still eggs though, I guess. And there has to be fish somewhere?" Aurora answered, as she leaned down to catch dried food packets as the waves broke at their feet. "Or you could just stay and tell them yourself."

Upon noticing the redhead on the beach, the teen cursed inwardly. "Oh. Ura... I'm leaving everyone to fend for themselves in a bit, if I forgive you I'll bring you food... If not, have fun with Rora." Smirking, Zanna took a slight step backwards towards the jungle.

Ura looked downright horrified. She was leaving him with RORA? How much did she hate him exactly? Oh sweet mother of god, why was she trying to punish him so? WHY?
"'kay..." Came his squeak of a response, which looked downright sad with his huge insomniac eyes and just water logged look. "Have fun?" Came another.. sad little reponse, same appearance to boot.

"No, wait..." Aurora muttered something, checked that her bag was still safely in the bushes and headed for the water. She jumped into the water and headed out towards Ronin.
As much as she didn't want to go back in, it was so much better than being alone on the beach with him.
