“Milla rushed to the bow and climbed up to look out. As the spray subsided she expected to see Tal's head bob up and a cloud emerge. But there were only the ripples of the impact.
Milla hesitated. She felt that she should dive in, but she was not a strong swimmer. Icecarls did not swim unless the Ice broke, in which case they had less than two minutes to get out of the water anyway.
"Odris!" she called. "Help them!" "What for?" asked Odris. "Adras will work out what to do before too long.... What an idiot! I couldn't believe it when I saw the hail. You'd never know he was the older of the pair of us, and that by two hundred years." "Tal will drown!" shouted Milla. "Go and help!" "He can't live underwater?" asked Odris, shocked. She suddenly launched off the mast and shot over Milla's head. A moment later there was another, smaller plume of spray as the second Storm Shepherd plunged into the water.
