If Captain approves, then who am I to argue? Two votes for Sandy.

[concerns]

Let's go out sometime, Lucio!

Sandy needs a buddy or two, we can name them "Lucy" and "Lucie!!"

[purport]

Why are you encouraging this nonsense?

[concerns]

I'm thinking long terms!

Hear me out, Sandalphon! Apparently, it's hip to have a mascot for a cafe!

Why don't we let Sandy be the mascot for your coffee shop?

[purport]

...Really.

[Captain, please. Save him]

I'd prefer something more appropriate. Marine life has nothing to do with coffee.

Not to mention, it'd be cause for confusion when some of you call me that.

[concerns]

[ But, but. IT'S CUTE! HOW CAN YOU REJECT SANDY, SANDY? ]

Awww.

[ You're not hearing him, but it's easy to imagine how that pout must've sounded like. ]

What if we make a little coffee mug for him? Or make him wear an upside-down coffee cup as a hat?

[purport]

And deprive Vyrn of the opportunity?

[He's kidding, but he really wants to believe Gran is also joking. Skies, let him be joking.

If only he'd heard the pout]

I'd sooner associate those creatures with that look-alike than with myself. Besides, I haven't even thought of a name yet, and any hypothetical mascot should match, shouldn't it?

[concerns]

[ If only Gran can predict the future as Arulumaya can. The irony of this conversation will hit them later when the Iris moon reaches full moon. Jellyfish Sandy.

Fine, he'll stop teasing. For now. Only for the fact that something caught his attention. ]

"Look-alike?" Is that what you call Lucio?

(spoiler-ish)

[purport]

I generally refer to him as "you" if I must address him.

[Truly, teasing is eternal, and it's what he deserves.

It will be a lovely bit of irony in due course. He won't even be able to hide, what with glowing in the dark]

I believe you were present for the only time I spoke to him prior to all this.

also spoilers

[concerns]

[ "The only time!" Really!? They've never spoke to each other since then!? How disappointing. Gran was expecting these two to be quick friends. Not because of Lucio's appearance, but because Lucio is such a friendly and pleasant person. The Captain would love to see his precious crewmembers— no, his family getting along.

Actually, nevermind, Gran isn't done teasing yet. But this part is also partially serious. Since this is the open network, he's naturally not going to mention anything explicit, but only enough for the idea to come across. ]

I hope you'll be able to say his name sometime.

You understand, right?

[ Because of Sandalphon's past, he should be able to understand why acknowledgment is important. The last thing that Gran wants is for anyone else to experience such a thing. As long as they're part of the family, he'll do his best to make them feel that. ]

I'm here for both of you.

[purport]

[That's how the Captain sails, isn't it? Looking after a small army of them, as varied as the skies are vast. It strikes him as a tiring notion, to reach out to so many time and again, even those like himself who aren't always the most receptive.

But he supposes it's also the sort of thing that saved them, more times than not. The Singularity - Gran - he's something else, isn't he?]

I hadn't made it a point to seek him out, considering.

[While he's certainly got questions, it was difficult to look at him. With Lucifer here now, he supposes his reasons are moot, yet the unease remains]

But I know what you're getting at.

[concerns]

[ That answer is more than enough. Gran fully trusts Sandalphon, especially as he is now, so he has no doubt he'll do the right thing. He's smiling behind the text. ]

Considering we don't know what's going on here, it's important for everyone to be in touch.

Thank you, Sandalphon.

[ He already knows it. Without a doubt, the archangel will be extending his aid as usual. So the Captain wants to thank him in advanced, for all the care and love he'll offer for not only himself but the people he treasures. ]

Talk to me more about that coffee shop later, okay?

[purport]

When we've crossed paths here, I've kept an eye on him. It seemed preferable to you having to track him down, when others are here as well.

[Just how many, he isn't certain of. But he knows without question that Gran wouldn't leave a one of them behind]

Those plans may be on hold for now, given present circumstances... But I'll ask your considered opinion on that mascot business when the time comes.

[Not that he had thought about such a thing before this conversation, but he'll entertain the idea if Gran actually sees merit in it]

Don't forget yourself.

[concerns]

grandcypher liked your post. 1m

[ That's their cute Sandy all right. Gran will look forward to their next conversation. Hopefully with actual coffee next time. ]

[illuminism]

An invitation from you is something I could ever turn down. The three of us should explore the land more thoroughly. I entrust you to effectively convince Sandy to attend.
