If Eva had heard the man's warning she had chosen not to show it, because instead of spinning around or replying or even turning her head to the side, she kept her focus on the water below for noticeable moments afterwards. The man that had given the warning shrugged off the dragon's reply and scoffed softly at the little girl looking off the side before wandering away - he was gentlemen-like enough to give a warning but he didn't have time to babysit either of them. After all, he was less concerned about his few passengers and more so for the cargo that needed to make it within time or he wouldn't get his full payment. The princess on the other hand continued to stare for only a moment more and likely when Serendi was just about to leave or tap her on the shoulder, she seemed to spring to life and as if out of nowhere, came a notebook flying into her hands. It was like a magic trick, keeping that sort of book hidden under a dress or it might've been actual magic, it's regal red skin giving way to the obviousness that she was with plenty of money. She started to write something down and then as quickly as the notebook appeared, it was gone, giving pause to wonder what the small flare had been all about. Most would've called her odd or quirky or maybe even a bit daft, but she didn't seem to mind any shot glares and glances she got from the crew as they passed her by. Biting her lip, her eyes wandered over the deck of the ship - it seemed Eva was in her own little world at the moment until she finally spun towards the cabin's entrance and looked back up at the half-dragon. She figured it might've been interesting, looking and observing from the other side, because out of all the men and creatures aboard she was most curious about the black-scaled woman. Eva gave her a small, polite, curious smile, perhaps even mistakenly casting herself in a mysterious light of sorts before she hugged her stomach and put her head down a little. Promptly, she began to make her way inside the cabin until she took a sudden turn towards another door. At this point, Eva wasn't sure if the dragon was watching or even cared, but she had a mission... and she had a talent that she wasn't so proud of. She easily stayed out of the way of the men and stood near the door that lead to the engine room until just the right moment. Besides the few men giving her crude, greedy glances, she was mostly ignored - in fact she knew that even those glares were at a minimum. She didn't present herself as an authority figure and certainly not like a sex figure, making her the little strange object on the boat instead more than anything. She was interesting enough to glance at, but they had more important things to do to get ready - everyone always had more important things to do and that was her [i]'talent.'[/i] Being ignored. Eva figured she might as might use of it as she quickly slipped inside the door without anyone noticing (to her knowledge). She quietly closed it behind her and waited for a moment or two, to see if one of the member's would come in after yelling at her to not be where she belonged. No one did and she smiled softly to herself, relaxing as she climbed the stairs down. She was far from some expert thief or spy, but she supposed maybe in another life she could've mastered the skill somehow, the thought giving her another small smile. As she came to the bottom of the stairs, it became a bit more obvious why the door wasn't being as guarded as she figured. A long hallway before her had several metal doors and as she walked down it, they read things like [i]mess hall, clinic, barracks,[/i] and so on. She bit down on her lip softly as she approached the [i]engine room.[/i] Looking both ways, she took in a deep breathe, her focus entirely on the door. She hoped no one was inside guarding it... hoping that she'd get time to study and examine all of the machinery. It was like entering a candy store for the first time after reading about it your whole life. She wanted to savor the moment.
