Open - different responses depending on the reply

For the past half hour, Janie had been sitting on the beach, watching the waves.  Water both fascinated and scared her, which is why she was at a safe distance.

She wasn't unhappy, but she had doubts about nearly everything in her mind.  She wasn't sure if the yellow boat parked a few hundred yards away was a safe idea or not.

She returned, outfitted with a couple more weapons.

"We're taking the boat?"

Robert eyed the yellow cabin cruiser.

"It's a bit obvious, isn't it? What did you name it?"

"Obvious?" She sighed and walked over to it. "What would you have picked? And no, I didn't name it. I had enough trouble naming my own kid."

"Well, any boat needs a name," Robert said, walking beside her.

"Why? It's not going to respond to it. The boat does not need a name."

"Every boat has a name," Robert said. "It's tradition. Call it the Lynn, or something."

"I'm not naming a boat after my daughter!" She did, however, try to think of a name. "The... hmm."

"A lot of people name them after their kids. I had a boat called the Janie for a while."

"...Why? Did it sink?"

" ... I sold it to someone who promptly renamed it the 'Wet and Wild.' It happens."

He climbed over the railing and took a quick look around. "It's nice enough, anyway."

Janie looked at her father like he was insane. She opened her mouth to say something, closed it, and shook her head.

"Riff Raff." she said, finally, jumping easily over the railing.

"Rift Raft?" Robert countered.

"The Rift Raft?" She started the boat. In a few seconds, it would be parked next to Ella's pawn shop.

"I like it."

Robert shrugged as the boat transitioned to its new location. "Seems appropriate."
