Uuuugh. Verdant the snake had barely managed to stay conscious through all that. Mostly. And it turned out that they were washed away on a shore not too long after. Great, at least she ain't at risk of dying. There should be enough resource in the island for prolonged survival, as inconvenient as it were. Silver linings and all.

Let's take this step by step.

Firstly, gotta get away from this weird man that didn't quite felt like a man. Probably an exotic race that she never met or something. Regardless, he's gripping her skull rather tightly and Verdant would rather not transform back in sight. The fact that her bundle of cloth and whatnot was washed away didn't really help either. There goes all her money too, gosh darn it.

Oh well, she can always get more once she return to civilization. Step by step.

Strengthening her spiritual connection to the skeleton, it thrashed and bounded away with unnatural strength as she rode it further inland, disappearing between the vegetation momentarily. First of all, circle around to find some spot to rejoin the passengers. Maybe salvage a cloth or whatever fabric she can get her hands on. She's not much bothered by the lack of it, but leave it to the humans to put such trivialities in high priority.
