[He didn't sleep well yesterday. Needless to say, he's crashing at the room for now to catch up on the hours of sleep he's missed. It takes a moment for him to be roused by the knocking and he yawns as he slips out of his bunk.
He expects one of his roommates. Not so much Zelos. Guy leans against the doorway.]
This is unexpected. What's up?

[Ah... What is up? He didn't exactly think this through. How like him. Distractedly he runs his hand through his hair. Get it...gotta get it together.]
Not you apparently 🎵. Are you up for breakfast? Or. Lunch. Whatever time it is....
[Dismissive handwave! He doesn't concern himself with such things clearly.]

[Dismissive handwave! He doesn't concern himself with such things clearly.]
[Ah... the time doesn't matter too much to Guy. In any case, it's Zelos's suggestion he's more focused on. He cants his head in curiosity before he steps out, hands in his pockets.]
Sure thing. If you'd like, I could cook something up for the both of us.

...Considering what I did to Rain and Sasha that might be a good idea.
I wouldn't know; I just made the thing.
[And they ate it. What does that say about the three of them??? He's thinking though. Somewhere public or somewhere semi-public? He hasn't actually spent much time in any of the bunks considering he never visits the one he was assigned. This would be a good opportunity to....
Who does he think he's fooling. How has gathering information helped him so far? He's been outplayed and he's most certainly outclassed.
Lloyd would be disappointed in him to be thinking like this...]
Aaah.... I haven't been in the bunks before. Maybe you should give me the grand tour ♥️.

I hate to say it, but it looks the same as the other rooms. If you've been staying in them, I mean.
[Considering how slippery Zelos is, he wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't been. Guy pushes open the door, holds it for his guest to enter. With their room down to three guys and one woman, it's become a little disorganized. Though Guy has made sure to keep any big messes out of the way.
He sweeps an arm out, as if welcoming royalty.]
Make yourself at home. I'll whip something in a second.

I stay wherever my hunnies call me~.
[Whatever...that means. His eyes glance to Guy's face before he steps inside as if he owns the place. Just following instructions?]
You know my house is a mansion, right.
[Making do with a place like this might be a tall order. Looking around he glances up at the ceiling with obnoxious puzzlement as if he's never seen a home so tiny before.]
But sure, sure! Do what you've gotta do, heheh.

[It's what he's inviting him to do, anyway. Guy sighs at the curious show that's put on but doesn't make a big fuss out of it. Zelos's brand of humor has begun to fall into a familiar pattern he can take in stride.
There's some food leftover in the pantry. Some meat and rice. He pops it into the microwave, lets it heat up. What a chef. In the meantime, Guy's sneaking a look over at Zelos as he waits.]
Hey, I've lived in mansions all my life, too. Anyway-- [He gestures to a chair.] --have you seriously been room hopping? Weirdo.

I was born with a responsibility, what can I say~.
[Zelos turns away as he talks. Taking in the details of the room, noting signs that point to Guy's hand and others that most likely speak of his roommates' personalities. Some part of his mind processes them, the same part that keeps alert even now for a sign indicating an attempt on his life. It's not intentional; simply, it's the only way he knows how to be.
Striding over to the chair he doesn't sit just yet, running his hand idly along the arm and letting it rest there. He keeps his back to Guy. ]
You still owe me about Auldrant, you know. What's a guy have to do to hear more about this heavenly place!

[Reading people isn't one of Guy's strengths. He can't scrutinize and break them down like Jade. But if there's anything he's good at, it's tuning into the atmosphere, understanding when to push and when to give. He stares at the other man's back, long and hard.]
What a demanding guest you are. [When someone asks about your planet, what are you supposed to share? Where were you supposed to start?]
It's a planet of humans, and humans make mistakes. It's far from heavenly. But I'm pretty fond of it. [Funny how he can say that now, when he would've celebrated its ruin as a teenager.]
The place I'm from... it's called Malkuth. Do you like the beach?

[Humans make mistakes... He knows that well. It shouldn't be surprising that Guy does too. The man's doubtless been hurt by the fallibility of others as well.
Zelos is so angry. He thought he wouldn't have to do things like this anymore--
Dropping into the chair finally he puts on a thoughtful face.]
The beach, hunh... Nice tans, even nicer curves and really nice... [He glances at Guy as if sizing up just how far to mess with him. It's a gesture only, but even now he oddly wants to keep up the fiction. He's only here for both their amusement.] ...flavored ice!

[The microwave beeps, signalling that the meal's ready. Guy turns to fetch the dish, not even bothering to hide his snort at the response.]
Of course you'd say that. [It's a very Zelos response. He balances the plate on his hand with practiced ease, sets it down with the care of an attentive servant.]
If you stuck around you'd get a tan and some curves yourself. [He smiles.] I've been living in Grand Chokmah for the past two years. It's called the Floating Capitol--the Empire's pride and joy built right on the ocean.
[He gestures.] Waterfalls, all over the place. It's a great place to take a walk around.

Tan yes, curves-- let's not be that close in our relationship.
[He looks at the plate a bit blankly. He's not actually hungry. But he remembers Colette staring blankly for days, no food or water tempting her in the slightest. ...He could be like that too, an inhuman being. If he wanted.
He digs into the food with a savage will.]
Sounds nice. Is that what you do? Sponsor a jogging club?

[Guy eases into the seat across from him, slowly. There's a lot of things he doesn't understand, but he doesn't need to understand.
All he needs to do is to help. So he talks.]
I wish. I served under Emperor Peony for a while. But you got that from my file already, haven't you?
[It's not an accusation. It's just a matter of fact that they both know.] More specifically... I made him attend the meetings he ditched and walked the rappigs.
[He laughs a little.] The illustrious life of a noble.

[Zelos keeps his eyes fixed on his plate at the reminder that Guy knows things even if Zelos doesn't say them. He hates that he feels so threatened by that. When all is said and done he really doesn't know what's on Guy's mind anymore than he does a stranger's.
But he showed up here anyway. What's that say about him?]
What's this emperor guy like?

[It's not like Zelos to be so subdued. He's still confusing, still a frustration, still something he can't put his finger on, but they've hung around plenty by this point for Guy to begin to pick up on a few things. Zelos Wilder was a flashy show, misdirection packaged in a person. This? This didn't feel it.
Guy leans back in his chair.]
Skirts his duties all the time. Flirts with all kinds of girls. [He sets his hands on the table.] He's like you.
