If Ryouma notices the momentary shift in Jin Guangyao's expression, he doesn't let on about it. It's fleeting and hardly the worst way anyone has ever looked at him, so it'd be easy to overlook.

"Well, no one'll take you over there themselves, but maybe they'll be a little more agreeable to just letting you borrow one of their boats instead..."

Nothing fancy, just a simple wooden rowboat would do just fine probably. Something someone would ideally not object to parting with too much; Ryouma considers himself a businessman, so the lack of money in this place is a little frustrating when he's back to bartering for favours like the old days.

"Wouldn't mind helpin' out since I'm heading there anyway myself. If you're worried about your power fizzling out on you partway there, the only thing for it is good ol' elbow grease!"

Ryouma grins and holds up his arm, giving his bicep a good smack or two for emphasis. He's fully prepared to do all the hard work by the look of things.
