Afterwards she berated herself for becoming careless, again. The big human had managed to grab her once and squeeze enough to shatter bone. She was aware of this with the way the broken flesh felt nothing but a mass of buzzing pain. Swimming was exceedingly difficult and she had latched herself at the bottom of the ship to get dragged along it. At least the worst of her craving was gone now.
When the ship stopped for a night and set down it's anchor, she held on to the chain. She concentrated on not moving. At least she didn't have visible injuries to attract beasts.
The glint of metal caught her attention and she went after it. She was dependant on the very sunlike human again, wanted she or not. Fetching the piece was difficult and she didn't even try and climb up on the ship's edge.
She heard it calling her, but it's voice wasn't as loud as usually. It was a nice change. The sky looked like the sea when the sun wasn't awake and it was littered with innumerable amounts of shining spots. Stars, that's what they were called. Their reflections were fragmented over the water.
The very sunlike human was looking down at her. She could see it's golden hair as bright as the stars. It could've been just as far away for her. The very sunlike human was waving around and she thought it wanted it's piece of useless metal back, so she tossed it up there. It scrambled after it, but she waited patiently for the human to return.
