[His braincell activates... There are enough shrubs and general vegetation in the area that he could feasibly and quite easily hide a corpse in them without it being easy to detect! And his weirdass friend from earlier didn't seem interested in corpses, after all.
The boatman shakes his head a little.]
I-I'll be fine! I know the back paths around this area really well. You don't have to worry about me, captain.
[He does have a sword, and he probably does know the way around, but the choice is of course up to sweet Aikawa as to what he wants to do next.]
[as i aki loom frowning in the background, the boatman just dips his head a little, giving up with his attempts at arguing.]
Alright, okay-- [ONTO THE BOAT HE CLIMBS. Whenever Aikawa gets his corpse situation all settled, the man will hold out the oars which had been resting below the seats.]
You'll need to go North, against the current. Just hug the riverbank and there shouldn't be any problems.
Anyway night Risu, hopefully he'll still be there when Aikawa comes back! Up the river they go. The boatman gives Aikawa a bit of a look, but it's not the weirdest thing to ask, so.]
We're going to the meeting point. The other commanders will be there to help everyone prepare to get to Tama without being caught, remember?
[SIR DID YOU HIT YOUR HEAD... is what his demeanor is asking, but he ain't about to put that into words. It's fine, it's fine.
Aikawa paddles up and up the river, with poor boatman trying not to lose consciousness from bloodloss as they go. They'll be traveling for a while since this meeting point is a fair ways off, and they'll be fighting the current the whole time. Most of the river is pretty lazy-running, at least, but Aikawa's arm and back injuries are going to be pretty aggravated and painful from the work he's putting in. Eventually, they'll reach a spot where the land on either side of them begins to rise up into a cliff face, and they can carry on along it without much fuss.

Anyway yeah he'll tuck Risu in good night. He better be here when he comes back. He will follow boatman's instructions up that way. Rowing! ]
Right... what's up there? ...Again?
[ Tacking that on because he remembers he's supposedly supposed to know what's going on in this world even though he decidedly doesn't. ]
