Reaching land once more, Musetta unloaded her hoard by the shelter then walked back to the beach to take a break and look out at the sea. She didn't even realize that was what she was intending as she sat on the sand, with a content sigh, looking out at the water, relaxed. After some time looking out at the water, she had the nagging feeling something was off. As it continued, she looked out at the wreck. What was she missing? Then she knew, Aias! She had not seen the man surface once since she took her break. With alarm she sprung to her feet and raced into the water.
Musetta was trying not to panic as she dived into the water, heading for the wreckage. Yet she could not help berating herself, that she should have been paying more attention. If she lost Aias along with the rest of her crew... the guilt was already swelling in her chest. It was with too narrow of focus that she didn't notice it until it swam near her, a shark! Now was the worst time for this, she didn't have the time to be careful! And then she saw it turn, it saw her, was targeting her. There was nothing between her and the shark, and she didn't even have a knife with her. Knowing it was likely pointless and the fear quickly stealing her breath she tried to stay still, hoping it would pass if there was no motion, but even if it did, she was already feeling her lungs burn.
