As focused on moving forward as she was, Tomoe failed to notice Yanmei at first - not until the wood moved unexpectedly under her skin. Two eyes snapped open and down to focus on the little lady offering all the support she could muster."We've got this - you got that?!"
The oni gave a laugh, nodded, and put her back into it. The ship picked up speed, beginning to sail over the sand as Tomoe fell into a rhythm and grew more confident. "Hell yeah we do...! C'mon," her left hand reached down, as far as she could manage without messing with her position at the ship's stern, "I'll toss you up, you give me directions so I don't run this thing into anything and mess it up worse!"
With the might of an oni on their side, the duo made short work of getting the beached ship to the cove - arriving just as the sun was about to begin sinking below the horizon. Tomoe slumped against the back as soon as she was positive it was fully under the natural shelter of the rock above, shrinking back down and changing color back to normal human standards as she fell butt-first into the sand. "Okay...! We made it...! Nothing caught fire...!"
She wiped a bit of sweat from her brow with the fingers of her left hand, and let it drop down into the sand. The feeling of the sand sticking to the little bit of moisture got a frown out of her, and she cast her gaze over to the nearby waterline. Rather than following through on her initial inclination, though, she pushed herself back up onto her feet with a small sound of exertion and took a look about the place for the other two women present.
