Filinian looked up towards the ship docked nearby, taking in the entirety of the large vessel with a slight grimace to his features. Here they were, all of them about to partake in a journey to a place Filinian barely knew. At least, nothing beyond what he had read in various books. The first thing he worried about was simply their method of travel, as he had never been on a boat for very long, and he'd never even been on a sear-faring vessel at all. Most of the travel he'd ever done on water had been on small boats for river crossings. Right now, he was only hoping to not have to deal with sea-sickness; if he did, this trip was only going to be made worse than his mind was already making it out to be.
With a small sigh, his eyes moved forwards to settle on the back of The Princess walking in front of him, the young woman currently talking with her maid, Lucy. His other nagging concern was that he simply had no idea what all the dangers they could expect out on the open sea, and what to do when they came across them. his job may not be that of a bodyguard for The Princess, but that didn't mean he ignored her safety. He wasn't sure of how much his magic could protect her, regardless of what it was that they fought. Sure if pirates were a thing, he could fend them off for a bit, but if they didn't have anywhere to retreat to, then Filinian knew there was little he could do to really stop them. He didn't even want to think about the weather and how he'd deal with that. His grip tightened on the shaft of his staff, it's blade lightly clinking with each moment it touched the stone beneath them.
His attention was broken from Thee Princess though when he finally noticed that Luna was currently looking at him. He hadn't noticed her at first, with his attention on Evelyn, but he could almost feel her eyes burning into him. He frowned slightly, which only deepened when she hardened the glare towards him. He could only sigh again, letting his head drop so that his hair dangled over his eyes, which were now tracing the various grains of wood as they began to descend the main ramp to the docks. There was another issue he was not looking forwards too, the bodyguards looking to him as a danger. He already got enough dirty looks and warning from plenty of people who thought he might try to charm The Princess. Sadly it seemed no amount of telling people to stop worrying about that changed their opinions much. He looked up once more, this time looking at Vayne; the young mage just hoped that the other bodyguard didn't decide he had to join in on throwing around dirty looks his way.
Today was the day of the beginning of the trip! Sun was perched up on all fours on the roof of a one-story building, a hood up to cover his head a bit even though he didn't make any real attempt to keep himself hidden from view. He never cared much if people saw him for what he actually was, but people also seemed to take his presence better; or rather, didn't immediately run from him in fright or scream monster. Of course once up close his poor disguise did little, though hopefully by then he'd at least made enough of an impression not to be skewered by a frightened fellow.
He looked at the ship, a big grin on his face as he thought about what adventures might be in store for him aboard the big vessel. It would be his first time out to sea, and boy was he looking forwards to it. He always did enjoy swimming, so being surrounded by water would be tons of fun. As a breeze blew past him though, his face did scrunch up a bit in disgust as he got a big wiff of fish and something else he wasn't familiar. Fish was tasty, but only smelled good when cooked. As for what the other scent was, he wasn't really sure, but boy was in strong.
Shaking out his head as if to try and shake away the smell, he then did a small hop of the room, spinning around to catch hold of the edge of the roof to lower himself a little more. He dropped to the ground with a light thump, using his hands to catch himself before he quickly scurried towards the ship he was to board. A light chuckle escaped his lips as he quickly moved past people, ignoring the odd looks they gave him as he moved along.
As Sun approached the ship, he looked to a couple people who were descending a ramp to approach the ship. Unfortunately, they were moving down the path a little to slow for his taste, so he choose to take the quicker route of just hopping from the stone walkway and down onto the docks in a quick little leap. Once he landed, again ignoring people who recoiled from him, he then took a better look at the ship in front of him, a huge grin on his face. His attention turned to the small group of people, one of which was Filinian having moved up closer to Evelyn as he watched the strange... thing. Sun shook his head about to shed the hood from his head, crouching down on his hands and his feet as he looked at them.
"Are you going on the Big Ship too?! He said, his tail emerging from behind him and swaying back and forth. "Sun Wukong never been on boat before." he turned his head to look out over the water as he sniffed the air again, face scrunching once again. "Smells bad though, strong stench." he then turned to look at all of them, scooting forwards towards them a little as he sniffed the air again.
As he did so, Filinian scooted up to right behind The Princess, in case he needed to protect her from whatever the hairy fella was. Of course he knew Luna and Vayne wouldn't let the man get any closer, but he at least needed to something other than stand around.
Sun stopped before gettting too close, watching the people and cocking his head to the side. "Hm, no. Don't think so. Maybe." He narrowed his eyes before looking towards the Atlantis, "Find out later!" With that, Sun Wukong was off again, moving across the ground and quickly scampering up the boarding ramp. He had to take a detour when he almost ran into another woman in his rush, so instead he quickly jumped from the ramp and latched onto the side of the boat, hands gripping the railing as he quickly began to pull himself up. His feet helped him grip whatever small ledge they could grab, allowing the monkey to climb up onto the railing.
Perched there, he looked out over the ship again, staring at it all in awe. "Wow, this boat is huge! Where do I go?" he asked himself, looking at the many people moving about to get the ship ready to be cast off. As his eyes scanned the ship, his eyes came to settle on thee woman he had rushed past just a moment ago. She must know the ship if she was boarding, he thought. She's going on the adventure as well! Quickly Sun went across the railing to get closer to her, stopping a few feet from her, up on the railing still.
"Hiya! Do you know this ship? Sun Wukong doesn't know much of ships or big water. You know what smells bad out here other than fish?" he asked her, once again looking around the ship as he remain where he was, his tail still twitching back and forth revealing his excitement for the situation.
