There's too many bodies - they're crowding the boat too closely, and the only thing keeping her seated is the worry that if she gets to her feet, the jostling of the boat might make it too hard to keep her balance and she might end up overboard. Instead, she slides in a little and lets go of the edge of the canoe.

Willow is more willing to trust him over the bodies in the water - the situation is clearly escalating, and she's not confident that if they can't find the way out soon, the dead won't spring to life and try to attack. Especially given his answer that, yes, he's responsible for the people he recognizes on shore. Without her magic, she feels particularly vulnerable, but hopefully if the dead begin to move, she can count on him to keep them at bay.

She turns her focus to the simple answer to his question. It's not a surprise his body count goes beyond the pirates on the ship he took over, but he also said these were people he thought of as family. It begs further questioning, and she does not want to pry, but she does take a few seconds to consider how much she's willing to give him about Warren.

"Yeah. Yeah, me too," she confesses with a small nod.

There's another one up ahead too. God, does she even want to know how many people he's responsible for killing?
