This journey - however short it may be, in terms of 'average seafaring travels' - is going to be the longest time that Skellig has ever spent aboard a ship. It is a good thing that he is not easily squeamish, and that the weather is fair - though he will be taking frequent moments to pause along the railing of the vessel and focus his gaze on the horizon, steady his vision (and his nerves) as he listens and watches.
At first, the crew remains mostly quiet (shock, probably) about their actual intentions for what they would plan to do after they make port and get their cut of the profits from this sale, and the discussion lingers on Skellig and Kreyu themselves - a man with WINGS, and a GIANT EAGLE still seem to be quite the hot topic among the sailors as they go about their work.
One is washing the deck boards where blood was spilled, scrubbing hastily with a lye-based soapy solution, they will never rid the wood of all the stains - but if the majority of the blood is removed, it will lessen any chance for flies, and the sun will take care of the rest of it in time, bleach it away with exposure. His energy is different than most of the others, and Skellig takes note of that...this one might be one he can convince to change his ways...
