[ belial just laughs, the sound rumbling deep in his broad chest. oh, oh, sandy, he's entirely aware of how loud they are and it's hardly the first time someone's complained about the noise, though sandalphon is much more blunt about it than the others usually are. vira and fraux had settled for just glaring at him in the mess hall during breakfast while naoise had politely asked him to please keep it down. sutera pointedly refused to even look at him but belial knows what she's thinking, that her big sister deserves better and that she has terrible taste in men. ]

So harsh! You're really hurting my feelings. [ he drawls in an obnoxious tone, his hand petting the top of sandalphon's head all condescendingly like he's a child or a small dog. ] Ask Conchy to put a soundproofing spell on your room if it bothers you that much.

[ it's either that or putting up with the noise until the singularity gives up hope of them quieting down of their own volition and gives them a stern talking to. that said, he smiles easily as he slides both hands into his pockets in a casual motion, eyes still on sandalphon. the way he's shifting in place makes it easy to guess that he's probably thinking about how to get from here to the bedroom without having to outright ask. tsk, tsk, lucifer's repressed influence really shows sometimes and it's rather tempting to tell him that he needs to actually verbalize what he wants, but he supposes he's suffered enough so he'll take the next step for him. ]

Come with me.

[ and with that, he turns on his heel and walks back in the direction they'd come from, heading toward his bedroom. luckily, it's still early enough in the day that most people are out and about instead of in their cabins so there's little risk of people seeing them enter his room together or being around to overhear them if sandalphon turns out to be as vocal as metera. ]
