[ he never asked to be one, and he has never been here in his life.
it's stephanie's business whom she follows, although sandalphon puzzles over her desire to keep tailing him. at any rate, he makes it back to where they first encountered each other in the hopes of running into djeeta, because surely she's had her fill of the place by now . . .
hopefully the main trio don't start coming up with outlandish ideas when they inevitably come across sandalphon with a new companion. ]
[ stephanie has not considered what he would tell them, but at the same time she is assuming he never explained what happened to him in the castle since 1) why would sandalphon explain anything ever and 2) she didn't even really tell anyone back home either since, like, how the fuck do you even bring that up anyway. ]
Why are you asking me? You're better off making your inquiry to the Captain.
[ and right on cue, djeeta arrives with lyria and vyrn in tow. ever one to make thoughtless remarks, vyrn pipes up right away, "wow, sandalphon! you sure know a lot of girls, huh? didn't know you had it in you, buddy." lyria is apparently awed by this so-called fact while sandalphon's shoulders sag. ]
What nonsense . . . Hey, Singularity. Let's talk.
[ in private, in part so that i don't have to write a whole conversation for stephanie to hear. anyway, sandalphon comes back a moment later with djeeta in tow, who merrily invites stephanie to join them on the grandcypher. ]
[ stephanie is nice enough to not laugh at vyrn's comment, although it makes her wonder who the other "girls" are... steph assumes they're referring to other people visiting him? hm.
when the pair return, steph smiles happily. ]
Thank you! I won't touch anything.
[ that's a lie.
she also immediately just. goes back to sandy's side. tee hee. ]
as it turns out, the crew of the grandcypher isn't leaving the casino just yet. they're merely heading back to check up on the ship and catch a short break from the lights and noise of the liner. sandalphon, however, intends to stay back once they're on deck, where he rounds on stephanie while the trio retreat to the cabins.
he preempts her before she can ask for a tour. ]
Well, then. I'm heading down to the kitchen. You're free to take a look around or follow me.
sandalphon hums in response. that was his plan, yes. as soon as they're inside the kitchen, he's at the counter and procuring both beans and maker in the blink of an eye. she can sit her rear down and let him work. ]
how is yona doing? they didn't talk much about current affairs. sandalphon has never been very interested in prying—which he realizes means that he's poor company. ]
She seemed fine. The way she carried herself was different . . . She'd cut her hair, too.
It's not just that. You may not realize it now, but this crew is always on the move. I don't have the luxury of entertaining one of you every time you appear.
[ and he's the only supreme primarch running around the sky realm. his shoulders sag in a silent sigh while he waits by the counter for the coffee to percolate. ]
Do as you please.
[ obviously, she's not going to leave him alone. ]

Such a tradition is news to me. I wasn't here when the liner took to the skies.

You're better off asking someone who frequents this place.
[ like an employee or an addict. speaking of, between all the walking and the duel, perhaps the singularity is done with fooling around . . . ]
It's been a while. I'm heading back to the previous floor.

Oh. I'm coming with you!

Yona has. Both of you need to work on your entrances.

[ carried herself differently though... maybe something happened? hm. ]
I could bring others to come see you if you want.
[ why would he want that ]
no subject
No. [ the response is given quickly. ] You don't have to do that. I'm not good company.

It might be years before that happens. I doubt anyone wants to wait that long.
