Ethan has seen the view of it all before. He keeps staring at her as they walk, barely looking ahead enough to see where his feet are going. It is beautiful, the cruise ship. There are so many parts to it, and even though he has been here awhile, he isn't sure he's seen it all. He doesn't know that anyone can, because there are times where things feel like they change places or where new ones just appear out of thin air. It's a dynamic, mysterious place, and for some reason, it brings people on board without their say so.
And doesn't let them go again until it says so.
"It let me return to the exact moment that I'd left my world, and then months and months later, I ended up here again," Ethan says after the end of the world, after the forever goodbyes. Maybe that is why he hasn't tried so hard to get back, to open the door again, because so much is uncertain and he has always had that habit of avoiding which he's-- he's only marginally better at especially after the big reveal about his father. He sits at the bar, and while there is no bartender, there is plenty of alcohol so he mixes them both a drink and then sets a few bottles between them in case they want more. Even if he's not-- not certain where to start, but he is still staring at her in amazement, burning returns to his eyes as he takes a sip of the drink. "This... is your first time then."
Here. Maybe it'll only be the one time or maybe she'll be back.
