You sat on what was like a window ledge that you placed comfortable pillows and blankets around within the meteor as you looked out at the passing cosmos. It's been some time since you, Rose, and Dave arrived here and now you're stuck on the three-year journey to the Alpha session. The shadows and stars glisten outside staring into the vastness of the universe it makes you feel heavy with thoughts, with memories.. already have faced too many battles and too many overarching prophecies.

Footsteps echo through the hall until you glace up and see Eridan sauntering in, wearing a frown on his face until seeing you. As you make eye contact he puts on a smug grin and adjusts his cape dramatically entering the room.

“wwell wwell, if it isnt one of the land dwellers.” He hums out striding up to you looking down at where you were sitting. “you should be honored im gracin you wwith my presence. afterall you have this whole, dramatic broodin thing goin on with sittin here, even for me.” Eridan says gesturing his hand to the little pile of blankets and pillows youve made out at the stars. Before you can even respond he starts to go off again on his ramblings.

“it is exquisite howevver, in a cheap loww blood kind of activvity wway,” he mused, crossing his arms and moving the rings on his fingers absent mindlyly, “the vvastness, endless possibilities, the knowwin of it all evventally goin to end and lose hope. but i suppose.. id rather it not be so dreary sometimes..” Eridan says looking off into the stars himself, weight of unspoken thoughts pressing down in the room. You both had seen too much, though under the vastness it felt like there might be room for something different- something more.

He turns back towards you before returning back to a more arrogant tone. “either way, im curious as to wwhat you were doin, you wwere alwways the least dull of you humans.”
