"No, Bosko, we've simply got to ride along the boat!" Gully pouted at her grumpy-bum of a wyvern, who rolled his eyes in that dragon-y way and began to descend. "Yes, thank you, Bosko. If we get too far, who's to say they won't think you're a bad kitty and try to shoot you? You wouldn't want that, now would you?"
Well, you're the one who wanted to fly instead of ride the damn boat, she felt sure he would say if he could speak people. Maybe you should've thought about that.
"Silly Bosko. Flying!" Gully said, and tittered at him. He began lazily doing spins around, and Gully's ponytail pointed every which way as she spun with him, riding alongside the boat, on account of he had nothing better to do if he couldn't go that far.
[I'm ACTUALLY busy] Dom:
Heaven's eye shined rather brightly that day, and it almost felt as if the vastness of the sea's horizon made it harder to hide away from it--Which was why a certain blonde owl was trying her best to huddle up in what little shade she had.
It might have been an odd sight (Though not as odd as a wyvern flying so close to water), someone napping in broad daylight, curled under her poncho.
Atleast if the flapping wasn't so loud and close.
Kinu:
"My!" Gully cried, beaming towards the sky. "The sun is ever so bright out today, Bosko! It almost makes me wish I had a parasol!" She tapped him on the head, and he grunted. "Unfortunate that a certain little kitty likes to chew on those, hm?"
Look, he'd say. I take what I can get.
"Oh, but you are such a catty boy," Gully said, snorting at him and giggling. Bosko began to crest at an angle that cast a shadow over the top of the boat so Gully could get some sun on her own wings. The fact that this extended the shadow offered to the owl on the boat was something he took note of, but didn't feel much need to point out, lest Gully get a bit too zealous and try to jump onto the boat or something stupid like that.
[I'm ACTUALLY busy] Dom:
Well, owl, she definitely had wings under her poncho, but she deemed that she was more fit to nap untransformed then in her avian state.
"Aaaaah... that's better..." She closed her eyes (Even though they were already closed... superclosed?) in an 'uwu'-esque fashion, the ol' Zs snoring out. It seemed that she hadn't notice the source of the flapping, or that the shadow wasn't from a cloud but rather a wyvern above her
Kinu:
"Say, Bosko, look!" Gully pointed down to the ocean, where a few flying fish were jumping across the water, breaking the boundary alongside the ship. "Beautiful, isn't it? Ah, I do so love those little fishies!"
Bosko gave her a look that said, Can I eat one?
"No, do not eat the fishies. You had plenty before we left, young man, and if you eat too much you'll grow entirely too cumbersome for proper flight!" Gully tut-tutted. Bosko groaned in the face of her impeccable logic, and so settled for letting Gully lean over to try and high-five one of the fish for a bit. It went smashingly.
[I'm ACTUALLY busy] Dom:
It wasn't that she stopped being oblivious that she finally noticed--(No, it was possible that she'd never notice them the entire ride)--but it was the rumbling of her stomach that snapped her into a very momentary state of consciousness, causing her to annoyingly open her sea blue eyes. "Uuuuuuuh... is it snack time already...? I could go for some fishies..."
But... hunting takes too much energy... I can use that energy to sleep...
[I'm ACTUALLY busy] Dom:
She sluggishly 'got up' (She rolled over on the deck) and flopped on the side, looking at the same fishies that, coincidentally, were given the highest of fives.
Kinu:
Bosko suddenly realized he had an in, and he gestured to the incredibly sleepy lady on the boat, with a look that said, say, she looks like she wants a fish. Can she have a fish?
"Well, goodness, Bosko, what- oh, well would you look at that!" Gully said, gasping as her radar finally picked up the fact that there was another person 'right next' to her. "Ooh, go down, Bosko! Go down!"
Coming down to be level with the sleeping girl's face as she flopped over on the deck, Gully beamed and said, "Hello there! Are you doing alright?" Bosko started trying to sneakily snap up a fish.
[I'm ACTUALLY busy] Dom:
The sight of a divebombing flying animal would have easily shaken any normal passerby, but the stunted reaction time of the Laguz only left her to acknowledgment the odd rush of air in her face and a voice that she could barely see (She had a lot of eyedust)
"Huuuuh...? Woah... whaaaaaaat?" She stretched her arms, dragging her words as she shook her head to regain some semblance of focus. She opened her mouth to reply, but a sudden, long yawn quickly interrupted her.
A few seconds later, she gave a formal response: "Oh, heeeeey...!" She waved her oversized sleeves at the curiously friendly stranger--It wasn't clear if she noticed that Gully was even not on the boat. "I'm... ahhh, fine!"
Kinu:
"That's lovely!" Gully said. "Hello! My name's Gully! Have you enlisted as well?"
Those fish were really nimble.

[I'm ACTUALLY busy] Dom:
She blinked a few times, the glare reflected across water making eye contact quite uncomfortable. "Uuuhuu--" She mumbled, processing what the fellow said. "En... En-Enlisted?"
"... Oh!" She snapped her eyes open, her thoughts finally ceasing to lag behind. "Oh yeah--Oh yeahhhh--Yeah! YEAH! I have!" She bobbed her head as a sign of confirmation.
"You too???"
Kinu:
"I sure have!" Gully beamed. "Myself and my grumpy kitty here." She patted Bosko on the back right as he finally got a fish in his mouth, and Bosko did the best he could to play it cool while devouring his paltry lunch. "You seem sleepy, darling. A bit of a night owl, then?"
[I'm ACTUALLY busy] Dom:
She gave a yawn, twice, no, thrice, closing her eyes again before partially re-opening them. "Kitty... huh, I wanna pet it..." She muttered.
"Ohhhh... yeah." She held her arms up, her wings under her outfit sprouting out. "I sleep all the time at night! Kinda weird and funny, so I really am a night owlll" She gave a carefree, blissful giggle. "Sunlight's reaaaaally bright, whadaboutyou?"
Kinu:
"Ooh, I've got the sort of verve that keeps me up for days at a time sometimes." Gully giggled back. "Bosko says it's not good for my health- oh, Bosko is kitty here." Bosko cocked his head, trying to act like he didn't have a fish in his mouth. "And you have lovely wings! They're quite pretty!"
[I'm ACTUALLY busy] Dom:
She raised an eyebrow, (Either interested or concerned) a rather comical expression when one did it with closed eyes, before giving a big shrug. "Oh hey kittyyyyy!" She called childfully, peering over the side of the deck. "Oh, Bosko's a big kitty." She squinted her eyes. Ohhhh, wyvern kitty.
She quickly stood back back up, practically twirling from her speed (Inertia didn't seem to exist in her movements) as she had a nonchalant smile plastered. "Oooooh, thank yooooou, Bosko has nice wings tooooo!"
Kinu:
"Doesn't he? He's such a pretty kitty!" Gully looked down at Bosko. "Say hello to the nice owlie lady, Bosko." Bosko groaned, rolled his eyes, and cocked his head. He'd finished the fish by now. "What's your name, miss? I'm ever so glad to be working with you!" She beamed. Even her teeth were bright.
[I'm ACTUALLY busy] Dom:
Evelyn kept her mouth agap inbetween replies--Perhaps it was much more easier and less tense, but maybe mouth-breathing was much more... comforting.
She seemed to be dozing off Or hidden behind her pensive thoughts that she both wanted out and also acted as a barrier , seemingly drowning in slumber before jumping up. "O-oooh! Uh, Evelyyyyyn!" She pointed to herself dramatically. "Evelyn! Glad to work witcha' too!"
Kinu:
"Lovely, lovely! Wonderful to meet you, Evelyn!" Gully would've held out a hand for a shake, but she was, after all, still on Bosko. "Well, I'll let you back to sleep, dear." Pause. "Oh, wait, silly me. Have I been keeping you awake, darling? Perhaps we'd better land, Bosko?"
Bosko rolled his eyes, as if to say, oh, now you have this idea?
Either way, though, they soon landed atop the boat where they really probably should've been this entire time, and Gully laid down on the deck. "It does seem like a nice place for a nap, doesn't it?"
[I'm ACTUALLY busy] Dom:
She gave a slight nod, perhaps trying her best to either go to sleep fast or to stay awake in spite. "Uhuuuuuuh,"
"Ooooh, waaaait," She held a hand to her chin. "Were you that big cloooooud?"
Kinu:
"I like to think of myself at least somewhat cloud-esque." Gully tittered. "So perhaps I was!"
[I'm ACTUALLY busy] Dom:
Unsure about the vague answer, Evelyn decidedly assumed so. "Woooah, that was a big shadow then!" She yawned, closing her wings.
Kinu:
It had been about thirty-six hours, so that sounded like a good time to Gully. She curled up on the deck near Evelyn- a habit she'd learned from Bosko- and lazily told the wyvern, "Play nice while I'm asleep, Bosko dear." She was out like a light, as she usually was.
Bosko shrugged, but in a wyvern sort of way, and did whatever wyverns do when they're on their spare time.
[I'm ACTUALLY busy] Dom:
She rubbed her eyes, looking at the Jera who went from jumping and beaming to suddenly out like a light A bit too reminiscent of her, it wasn't usual to see other people besides you sleep in the day so heavily.
But she shrugged, stretching her arms before huddling and falling to dreamland alongside her new apparent friend.
