You never know! You'd be surprised at what people end up liking.

[ maybe they think him being grumpy is endearing. ]

[melancoffeea]

[ i feel called out. ]

We'll see once we arrive. What else should I know to prevent suspicion?

[vigilantics]

Mostly just try not to stand out too much. If someone tries talking to you, brief conversation is fine, but we don't want people noticing us to the point where someone might wonder exactly who we are.

[melancoffeea]

[ he nods, finding that more than reasonable. then: ]

For the sake of brief conversation, what exactly is our relationship?

[vigilantics]

Oh, you're my boyfriend. Like that one time with the carriage and when Shirasu was a cat.

[ good times. ]

[melancoffeea]

[ that's what sweetums means? ]

That was entirely your doing, you know. I didn't intend for us to feign such a [ mortal ] human connection.

[vigilantics]

[ it's a mystery. ]

Sometimes you have to just wing it. It worked, didn't it?

[ ... ..... somehow. ]

[melancoffeea]

Yes, I suppose we did manage to wing it.

[ thinking about that detail sours his mood just a little for a fleeting second. back to business. ]

How much longer?

[vigilantics]

We're almost there, just-- oh!

[ she points at an upcoming building. it's not that hard to miss; the buildings in this area is already fairly fancy, but this one basically screams "i'm expensive." ]

There it is.

[melancoffeea]

[ to sandalphon, it screams, "i'm excessive." he gives the building a long, appraising look; quieting down to let stephanie manage the vehicle while he processes everything he's been told and is seeing. this is the last moment of peace stephanie will have before she dies inside from the imminent scene. ]

[vigilantics]

[ honestly

i don't know what she expected.

once they're nice and parked though, it's time for them to!!! go in and kick ass!! steph already scoped the area out beforehand so she knows where all the exits are already, at least. ]

[melancoffeea]

[ even ion would make a more convincing date.

so stephanie's run through the details. seeing as she's more familiar with just about everything, however, sandalphon won't make any moves on his own. he paces himself to walk by her side, and will let her answer first should anyone approach them. she probably looks more friendly anyway, what with the mild scowl perpetually plastered on sandalphon's face. ]

[vigilantics]

[ yeah. that might make people hesitate to make small talk with him. but it's fine? probably. ]

Have you ever done something like this before?

[ it's said lowly enough, so people could't really overhear. ]

[melancoffeea]

[ good. he doesn't want to talk with them. ]

No. I don't usually mingle with mortals.

[ he brews his coffee and leaves before people can talk to him. he's a perfect fit for this job. ]

[vigilantics]

Isn't your crew filled with mortals?

[ sandy do you not talk to the people you live on a flying boat with. ]

[melancoffeea]

I didn't join them for small talk.

[ so it all rests on stephanie now. although— ]

Don't worry. Since I agreed to this, I'll make some effort on my end.

[ that doesn't mean he'll stop frowning. it's his default expression. ]

[vigilantics]

And that's why you're so dependable!

[ sandalphon is a good boy, even if he does not think so. ]

[melancoffeea]

Nonsense—

[ she's out of her mind. before he can fully contradict her, however, someone approaches: after all, it's a party and that means no one is capable of minding their own business. ]
