Oh yes, such a nice guy, like that was convincing. Still, Sora didn't seem as bothered by him...it as Locke was, so there was that. Besides, the skeleton did have a point, he was the only one with a boat.

Really, what was there to lose by giving this a shot? Either they swam across and potentially died thanks to the dead things in the water or the the temperature, or they trusted this guy and risked him turning on them. The latter was the lesser of two evils.

Locke dropped his caution a little bit and moved to stand by Sora, offering another hastily written note of 'I'll do it if you're not comfortable with it, who knows, not being able to smell things might be better in a place like this.' Of course, they didn't know how long that price would be in effect or if it was even a permanent thing.

But, then again, did it really matter if it got them to where they were going in the end?
