You quiet. ( She hisses at the boy, startled by his audacity, the seeming foolishness that prioritizes his wants and whimsy over the danger at hand. A sea of her sister, and a greater one of waters beyond, and he talks as if he has nothing to fear. ) Or they kill you.
( They have done it before stays unspoken between them. She seems, for a moment, to think of how to manage the matter, distress contorting her face. In the end, she settles on a loud proclamation: )
These ones! They have pox sickness. The limbs are falling off. I take them in the back.
( She's greeted with a groan of disgust and a call from the back that, yes, keeping the sick and decayed corpses from the fresh ones is wise. Turning to the pair, she waves them to enter the casket-ship again and pretend death, while she drags the vessel's chains like a leash to lead with. At least in the back of the caverns, they won't be seen. )
