She needed to find it and it was probably in the boat because that's the last time she could remember having it.

Fortunately, she managed to find her way to the boathouse without getting lost (an incredible feat on its own because she had no idea as to how to navigate this castle yet) (it's so big) (way bigger than Stark School). But once she found the boats, she realized that she had no idea to differentiate between them. Kizzy stared at them and considered her options VERY carefully.

And when it became clear that there was only one way to go about this, she did just that and climbed into the first boat. The first year bent down and looked carefully under the little wooden planks. Hm. It wasn't in this one. So she quickly climbed out of the first boat and hopped into the next one in the line up. Only... It looked like this boat wasn't secured to the dock as well as the first had been. And unbeknownst to Kinsay, while she was ducked down, looking for what she had left behind... The boat started slowly floating away from the dock.


Ashley wasn't sure why she was in the boathouse. She sorta came in there by accident. She was barely through the door when another first year started accidentally floating away from the dock. "Hey, what are you doing?" she ran and grabbed the rope that had once held the boat at the dock, yanking it back. "Also, whoever tied this boat to the dock did a pretty terrible job knotting it. It was like, barely secured." She knew all about knots, having spent so much time near the water. She used this experience to tie the boat back up securely. This was a very confusing sight. There was another first year... who probably shouldn't have been here either... in a boat... accidentally floating away... with no life jacket or paddles... and they didn't notice. Just, what? At least they never got too far away from the dock, because Ashley would hate to swim out and get them. That water looked cold. And dark.
