"How the hell should I know?!" he snapped back at the woman, not before temporarily losing his balance again.
The ship creaked threateningly as it barged against the cliffs once more, and the weight of the waves began pulling the vessel into the depths below. Din threw his arms out in the air in frustration as he realized what exactly was happening.
He threw the woman an annoyed glare. "This is just great. We're sinking!" he huffed. "Look what you did!"

"Get'em on the life boats!" Rata yelled as Spade carried the injured Jarvis over his shoulder. Regen had gotten there just in time to prevent him dying that day, but he was still in too bad of a shape to walk.
"How the fuck did this happen?" Spade yelled, dropping his comrade into the little boat. "Where's Din?"
"He must still be with that girl!" Markus moaned, recently awoken from his unconsciousness. "I knew it was going to be trouble bringing her."
"This is worst job we've ever done," Regen said frantically. "First, Jarvis gets stabbed, then Markus gets knocked out. Dinny's little play thing turns out to be some wild murderess, and now the fucking ship is sinking!"
"We can't just leave Dinny here!" Spade barked, turning his focus to the boss. "We need to go get him now!"
"The hell we will," Rata barked back. "I told him if he screwed this up, he's out of the band! And look where we are now! We're leaving without'em!"
"Sorry, but I can't," Spade continued to argue. "I'm going after him-"
As soon as he turned around to find his friend, he was unconscious on the ground. Rata stood over him with a look of worry and irritation after dealing him a blow to the back of the head. "I won't hear of it, boy," he muttered under his breath. "Markus. Regen. Get'em on the boat, too. We gotta get off this thing now!"
"What are we going to do with them?" Markus asked, motioning to a tied-up Ruby and her remaining guard.
Rata shrugged and spit. "Fuck it. Keep'em tied up, but put them in the other life boat. Let'em fend for themselves."
"Yes sir!" Markus and Regen said simultaneously. They did as their boss ordered, and soon enough Ruby and her other guard were on their way, as well as the rest of the Canary Crew.
