[For all that he loves an audience, Fandaniel is a creature of solitude. He stays in the Research Facility most evenings, toiling away on his projects with single-minded intensity. Burying himself in his work helps him feel like he is doing something, like maybe there is a reason he's here, present in this world instead of existing only as motes of flame-blasted dust.
When he does go out he ventures into town to people-watch for a while then wanders along side roads and dark corners as he turns back for his laboratorium. He could always teleport but a quiet stroll gives him time to think dark thoughts.
He is passing through the outskirts of the city when he notices Ryoji's hunched figure. The boy is clearly burdened by something, he knows the look well, has seen it in the mirror many times. At first, Fandaniel merely tilts his head before continuing his walk but it doesn't take long for his restless curiosity to get the better of him, turning him back to Ryoji once more.]
Are you here to brood on your lonesome or would you mind company?
