NOTES: Probably won't be very active right away since I'm on hiatus (and apparently don't get the meaning of the word). Pretty much just chucking this up for date purposes

[Shadowing Arthur is harder than it would seem. It's hard because even though Brendan's been very careful not to be seen, Arthur behaves suspiciously. Like the whole ship is out to get him.

Part of him wonders if it's because he's been here longer, or if it's a habit from the past. Maybe he knows Brendan's been following him and is just trying to ignore it--or maybe, as much as he doesn't want it to be, Arthur's in league with something not so good aboard the Tranquility.

Ariadne had been a nice enough dame, if wary, and apparently had mistook him for Arthur when they first met. Why, he's not sure--Brendan's hair is all curls, shaggy and unkempt, and he wears glasses whereas Arthur is a well-dressed man with a business vibe to him, never mind the fact that they're drastically years apart. But he's reminded of Hayley, the girl that looks like a younger version of her with shorter hair, and wonders if this is a thing. The ship has a twisted sense of humour, that's for sure.

At the end of the day, he's not looking for that--the ship is a big mystery he's not interested in at the moment, despite wanting to figure out who sabotaged that Hotspur guy. Right now he wants to know why the older version of himself (Arthur, he's heard other people call him, but never with a last name) is acting the way he acts.

Brendan's currently hugging the corner wall, waiting a healthy amount of time before darting out and walking behind the other--enough to make it seem casual, a simple 'I'm going your way' except he keeps his footsteps light and stares too intently at the back of Arthur's head. He's been following the other for almost two days straight now, refusing to approach him. Just watching.
