Excited, Anxious, Curious, Mesmerized… all the mixed feelings are for sure there

Skiff Reef
(He/Him)
This was it, this was his chance. He had to take it. His entire life he had been way to sheltered in the castle. The only real escape he got was his normal Prince duties. Otherwise, Skiff was off-limits from going to the surface.
When that invitation came for CCFA, Skiff knew this would be his chance; however, his mom had shut him down entirely. Skiff going to that school meant he would be on the surface, so she determined that it was a big fat no.
So the Prince took matters into his own hands. He rebelled, going behind his mom's back, Skiff signed the invitation. Then used his unnamed accomplice to get the signed invitation back to the school. Now the day would finally come, he would become the first-ever Mer Shark Prince to become a runaway. While he gathered up his belonging, packed them away into his bag, and headed out into the Kingdom, heading straight for the kingdom's only known entrance/exit. His unnamed accomplice worked on distracting the guards with some bullshit story.
He was now at that exact entrance and exit post, with one large thrash of his tail. Skiff was propelled through Kappas gates. When he was a good distance out he turned back to the home he was making his escape from. He could see the blotches of his people swimming by, the lights that lit up the Kingdom, Citizen homes, and even further off in the distance his home, the palace.
Two young Mer Sharks were sitting in front of the gate, watching their Prince swim away. They looked as if they wanted to come with him. Those two had been telling him for a year or so now that they would become Knights and work to protect their future King, Skiff. Skiff could only smile and tell them that he believed in them. In reality, he didn't like the thought, what if there was one day where he needed to be protected and they lost their lives for him? He couldn't even bear the thought.
The two little Sharks gave Skiff a big, wide excited wave. In which the Mer Shark returned before turning his attention back to his real reason for being outside the Kingdom walls. Without a moment to spare, he was swimming off towards the surface. Of course with his axolotl, Arp, right by his side.

The surface was a strange place. There was no water. You had legs and feet instead of a tail. His hair was white now. His fingers were no longer webbed. He was able to keep the blueish rough skin that covered his arms and torso, cutting off to leave the patch of average like human skin in his mid-torso. Oh yeah and the sharp, jagged teeth of a predator.
Having legs and feet was for sure a touch and go for Skiff, but he figured out the swing of things with a bit of time given.
The majority of things on this surface, the sea creature had never seen in his whole life, especially cars. Within the first five minutes, he learned that those things were death machines. He for sure had to watch his back with those things just roaming around.
To be honest the only reason Skiff was even alive at this current moment was Arp making sure he didn't get killed on the surface. He was distracted by every single thing he saw. At this point, Arp was starting to believe his owner-friend wasn't going to last long on the surface.
But Arp managed to get Skiff to his pick-up spot and boarded on the carriage. The only reason Skiff understood what a carriage was was because there were seahorse-drawn carriages in the ocean, but these ones had other creatures pulling them. Which of course intrigued Skiff, but Arp was having it and nudged the Mer Shark forward.
Once seated in the carriage with Arp, sitting on the floor by his master's feet, well actually at the current moment it was more like Arp was Skiff's master, but that's beside the point, Skiff searched the cabin eagerly. There were many different faces in here. Each and everyone, the boy was eager to meet and talk to, but he was to mesmerized by this all to speak up.
