[Merlin]

During all this...strangeness, Merlin is generally keeping his head down. With a few select exceptions, he's not feeling any particular need to socialise with anyone who's not even going to be here in a few days anyway. However, in the interests of Everything Being Normal, he keeps showing up to custodial shifts and, less reliably, mealtimes.

After the flood, he just straight-up disappears into his cabin for a couple of days.

[The Great Dragon]

With apologies to anyone who's even started surveying the damage done earlier in the flood, there's now a dragon on deck. He lands...relatively lightly, but even then, he's big enough to eat the average passenger in one bite. Maybe two if they're very tall. His claws gouge the deck; the bent railings buckle under his weight as he settles, tail curling around to one side as his wings fold against his back.

After decades of imprisonment, after the indignity of being chained beneath his captor's citadel, this short diversion is - at least initially - little more than a matter of bemusement. Of course he's limited to the deck, as far as the ship goes, and trying to fly beyond it is accompanied by a sense that his young host is being put at risk - so he doesn't wander far.

Passengers might find him circling the ship from above, or coming in to land, or simply resting on deck and regarding passers-by with luminous gold eyes.  He's fairly chill, when unprovoked.
