The crew of the quinza is dragging the meat away from the hiding place, and they're worried that it's going to sink. They're also worried that the town folk are going to freak out when they find out that the meat isn't from a dragon, and that they'll be turned away. Mika tries to calm her down, but she's not having it. She's just trying to get some meat for herself and her family, and she doesn't want to be seen as a traitor. She tells the crew to prepare the bridge to take them to the next town where a dragon is likely to be found, and then she'll let them off the hook.
