Petra felt the presence behind her before Ross's hand actually made contact with her back, but she was content to let him rest his hand there briefly as he warned her. "Aye'm 'bout ta push off. Ya may hold onta somethin'."
"Oh. Got it." Instead of moving back from the bow, she leaned on the railing, holding on tightly. She let her body move with the swaying of the boat as Ross pushed away, which prevented her from stumbling as she had initially. Turning her back to the railing, she watched Ross with a fond smile. Already this was proving to be more than she'd expected of him - not that she'd expected the date to go any one way, but it was definitely a pleasant surprise from the get-go.
"Would ya want ta learn?" Petra raised her gaze to Ross's, surprised. Her eyes moved from his face to his extended hand, and she made her decision. Nodding, she moved to stand by him, examining the steering mechanism. "I'd... love to. Please."
