The group spots the looming gull overhead and proceeds cautiously toward the ship. Emilia and Robbie swiftly reach the safety of the ship's shadows. In contrast, Tanya isn't quite as fleet-footed. The gull, having locked onto her, rapidly changes course, swooping directly in her direction. Reflexively, Tanya dashes around the ship to evade it, and for a moment, she believes she's escaped the bird's clutches.
However, the gull circles back around from the opposite direction, emitting shrill cries, and unerringly homes in on her. With a deafening screech, it crashes into her chest, propelling her backward. As Tanya hits the ground, the bird aggressively pecks at her, drawing blood. Robbie runs over with a piece of driftwood and takes a forceful swing, making contact with the gull. The impact sends the bird hurtling into the ship, where it spirals through the air, a maelstrom of feathers and squawking.
The gull regains its bearings but, evidently having second thoughts, it takes flight and departs the scene, leaving the group safe for the moment.
Tanya now has the scared condition.
