I think my characters have reached their limit in regards to information. I don't think they'd even want to ask questions even if they had any. xD
And I agree, I think a bit of a time skip is necessary so that the characters can have a moment. But I think Deepti will be with Maddie in trying to get the group to shore ASAP. Maybaleen could go either way. She's a really hot-cold character. Saito is out until we reach land. I won't be exploring his character until later. I expect to have a post of Arrios actually cognizant on the boat just to get him oriented and introduced (plus I wanna). Maybe interaction between Maddie & he because he had such a poor reaction to freezing/waking up?
