[ such is the life of optimists. not that hoping for the best means an immunity to dealing with the worst—there's a droop in his fins, and an understanding when he nods. ]
...Yes. I find if the future feels overwhelming, it's best to deal with one day at a time.
he agrees with a short laugh, enough that he doesn't wake up any undue aches and pains, and off they go to the bar! he looks curious, not having been here very often. ]
I've thought it was a shame we haven't given our dead a proper sendoff... [ they just have to. watch them in these pods. the thought that their souls might be stuffed in there too makes him feel... not amazing. ] You're right. Even if there is no proper funeral, we should at least toast to them!
...Lil' bit. Wish I could've gotten to know them more. [ there's only a small smile as he goes behind the bar to grab two cups. ] Eunhyuk was my roommate, and Viktor... we bonded pretty quick, the very first day we all woke up here.

Any preferences? I can't make anything fancy, though... anything more complicated than a rum and coke, and you'll probably have to ask the holo-bartender instead, heh.

[ he's not a big drinker, and also, it's just nice to get to know someone's preferences. feels nicer to be served a friend from a would-be friend than the not-alive bartender anyway. ]
I'm glad you were able to speak with them some, at least. Our time together was too short. I thought, at the beginning of this journey—ah, two months is barely any time at all! [ a bit of a rueful smile, then. ] I know it feels very long now, to most.

[ he'll stop looking outside now, shifting to give sidon his full attention. ]
Do you drink? I don't wanna assume everyone's culture and biology are the same as mine.
no subject
I don't often! But I can—and I would be happy to share a drink with you, friend.
[ like, why not, after all this? ]
I usually save it for celebrations, but a token of remembrance is all right too.

Hey, funerals are just as much about remembrance as they are celebrations of life, aren't they? C'mon, let's roll.
[ off to the concourse they go! ]

Did you know either of them well, Ichiban?
