Hikari sputtered, blinking rapidly, and finally turned her gaze down to the bottom of the rowboat as a fierce blush crept up her cheeks. "W-w-w-what gave you the idea!?" she mumbled. "We didn't do anything of the sort! Think of the scandal if anyone found out! And then no one would want to marry me if I wasn't a virgin- eep!" With a lurch, the boat ran aground, having wandered into ankle-deep water too shallow for its draft while Hikari was distracted.<br/><br/>It was also about time for Siri to admit that she hadn't found any sign of the goblins, either traveling on foot along the banks in which case there should have been footprints or traveling by boat  in which case there should have been mud and vegetation disturbed by paddles or oars. Not that she had lost their tracks, but rather, never picked up the trail in the first place since setting out.
