Before Sunny could come to terms with meeting Ananke — the real Ananke, who had never met the Mad Prince, and therefore never got to travel with Sunny and Nephis — he found himself in the lounge cabin of the mysterious ship, being treated to tea, wine, and delicious food.
Ananke even used the same enchanted lacquered box and dinnerware as she had in the Nightmare. The similarity to how they had met for the first time was simply too strange… it made Sunny want to ponder the mechanics of how the Spell brought its phantoms to life, and whether its knowledge of all things having to do with the past was founded on its ability to fathom the Strings of Fate.
However, at the moment, he was not really in the mood for philosophical ponderings.
Barely remembering to touch his food, he simply stared at Ananke, feeling both stunned and full of joy.
Ecstatic, almost.
