Summary
Sandalphon was no stranger to grief, or its many forms. He mostly knew anger; irritable demeanor was common with him. Irritation often aimed at surroundings, Sandalphon soon making it a habit to simply isolate. Sneak away from everyone-everything that irritated and exhausted him-and be by himself. Though, occasionally, some would voice concern, the captain allowed it. Orion, too, knew how grief worked. It was still far too soon for wounds to have mended, still tender from when they opened.
Recovery is a slow, sometimes painful process. Most days, Sandalphon keeps to himself, avoiding everyone as much as possible. He started, however, forcing himself upon company. It was a gradual thing he decided to do. And, most of the time, no one really commented on it, and just allowed it to happen. Sandalphon would join and leave on his own accord. He allowed the comfort of other presences to come slowly, making himself stay a little longer each time.
Acceptance, however, was the hardest thing Sandalphon had to learn.
