Shard's suggestion resonated with Miss Luisa, as she thoughtfully wrapped her robe around herself:
"I think I can find the general location where he climbed ashore... Well then, detective, I'll trouble you for half an hour of your time. I'm quite cold too, and if we can't find him in half an hour, we'll leave. However, his injuries are much more severe than mine, and finding him could save us a lot of trouble."

The Terael River, a part of the complex water system that runs through Tobesk, has a relatively high flow rate. During the flood season, it serves as an important inland waterway from the western to the northeastern parts of the Kingdom.
Even in the urban sections of the river, the underwater currents are remarkably strong; unless one has special abilities, is an excellent swimmer, or clings to a floating object, no one can swim in the river for long.
