[Technically he shouldn't be on the ship, but he isn't going too far. By the door he's set up a little shrine of white candles. He kneels down and lights them with a simple gesture. Belthazar's sleeves still have some rips and tears in them from fighting the bugs, but at least they're clean.

A moment of rustling, and he leaves a small offering of white flowers symbolizing sympathy and grief. Thanks, Ino.]

[He isn't sure what else to say.]

I am... sorry.

[SS Bishop;]

[Anyone seeking out the tiny elfling later will find him freshly-showered and seated in the kitchen. He's made something a little more traditional this time-- breaded chicken, dairy-free gravy, and mashed potatoes. There's plenty for the crew. In the meantime, he's eating and reading at the same time.

Looks to be some kind of trashy fantasy novel. A Melody of Frost and Flame? Belthazar, you can do better.]

I've heard worse accents, at least.

[He's surprised by her question. He's the type to maybe brush it off, pretend he didn't, but the way his ears flatten against his hair gives him away immediately.]

Ah... yes. It's paltry in comparison to the shrines I have seen, but this is all I could bring.

[Wanda's smile gets a bit warmer as she catches the young man's reaction to her question, she continues to look at the shrine he constructed. The expression on her face begins to mirror the thoughts and emotions that her mind becomes awash in, as she contemplates the events that transpired aboard this ship and her own part in them. Her only words are a brief murmur, both a response to her companions words and an echo of her own feelings towards the shrine.]

It is beautiful.

[arcanepower]

[He shakes his head.]

I... wanted to save them. Everyone wanted to save them, but we cannot. All we can do is try to keep it from happening again.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda doesn't respond at first. Instead, she simply nods her head, letting a brief moment of silence fall over them. She doesn't take her eyes away from the shrine when she speaks up again.]

Though we did not get to know what these creatures were like before all this madness, I am sure that they would have appreciated this gesture.
