"Sneaking around was more fun that I expected," Adam mentions, "but kinda scary at times."

"Does talking with someone that has been inside the thing helps?" asks the little one.

"Wait you guys go inside it? Cooool. Is that what the little ducts are for, are they hallways?"

"I didn't, but like, there is a salamander that sometimes goes inside the furnace, but she is not supposed to. I think the ducts are just to... do duct things."

"Aww. That would have been really cool. Oh well. I think I might go back outside and watch the weird water lizards."

"Plesiosaurs," Adam supplies.

"Okay, bye then."

Back to the surface, then! Sneaky sneak.

Sneaky!

(relief that they are not caught!)

"That was a nice little adventure, I think."

Adam makes a face. "It's not like we slayed some monster that was tormenting a farm or something."

"Little adventures are much safer."

Adam nods sagely at that.

"Anyway, Plesi-lizards."

"Plesiosaurs."

They are still following the ship, albeit the group has either divided or spread out.

They're interesting to watch. Sort of.

His language spell might run out soon. He looks for a chance to slip away and hide somewhere.

The ship is full of nooks and crannies. It might depend on how much privacy he needs.

He kind of wants somewhere to nap. Easily-stolen food would be a plus too. But 'well hidden' is the most important thing - he won't be able to talk to anyone soon, and he doesn't have a ticket.

There is actually an free buffet inside that he will find easy enough to liberate food from. Places to nap might be more complicated, there are all sort of spaces around, some bathrooms... a "closet" that looks unused, with cobwebs and dust settling in... There is a lifeboat with a tarp that would make him invisible and is by far the most spacious option... there is a space between several boxes which he could squeeze himself in...

He loads up on food, walking in ways that are unlikely to attract attention, watching for when nobody's really directly watching him.

Between the lifeboat and the boxes... Someone might actually check the lifeboats. But it's more comfortable. And if some emergency happens he'll already be in one.

Lifeboat it is. He hunkers down and naps in one.

The tarp is translucent enough that he can see the sunlight filtered through it. He naps and is left undisturbed until he hears a loud explosion somewhere above and flashes of light in the darkness followed by more explosions.

He...

...Doesn't panic. Whatever's happening, he at minimum needs to know which way to run. He peeks out of the tarp, and tries to understand what's going on. 

It's night, and there are bright flashes of light up in the sky. He catches something going upward and leaving a smokey trail behind. Then it explodes into a ball of gold and blue. Followed by another one in red and green. Then one that appears to rotate through all colors in the rainbow. He can't see where the things are coming from.

So it's maybe not some kind of attack?

He quickly looks for some people and watches how they're reacting.

The people... appear to just be watching whatever it is. And if he leaves the lifeboat and wanders around he will notice that they are docked and that the whatever it is is coming from somewhere in land.

So it's a spectacle, a show. Nice. It's kind of pretty, once it's not scary anymore. He watches, too.

It keeps going for a few minutes, they get more elaborate, at some point displaying simple patterns like stripes and polka-dots.
