Gavin would have offered her a hand into the boat with it decided she'd live through this ordeal but typical, independent her, she was already helping herself in, leaving nothing for him to do but follow suit. Nothing new.
"You don't think those things will try having a go at the boats do you?" He asked, nodding to the swans in the near distance as he settled in next to her. After that one year with the demon bird flying into their condemned building he didn't much trust anything covered in feathers. Hurry her into the boat, yes, that was a sound idea. Of course, as much as she disliked the fact that it had to be swans, she was grateful for the break in tedious conversation, and the stares she got when people watched her eat... it was incredibly unbecoming of them. "No need to rush me, Isaacs, I'd hate to think that you're already so wound up about work and stressed to the point where you see urgency in everything we do. Might have to send you to one of those healers for some relaxation if you're not careful." Just to take him down a peg. Dreadful times, but admittedly watching his reactions had been somewhat amusing - even during the worst of it.
Once they were both settled into their cosy seating arrangement, Emily claimed his hand back and laced her fingers together with his. Let he boat ride commence.
The real swans though, now that was something. She'd almost forgotten Gavin's aversion to birds... until now.
...
"Yes, I do," she replied truthfully. There would be no sugar coating it. "If they're used to being fed, then they may display aggression... but it's okay. I'm here to protect you." Did he doubt her?
