[ Phoenix reached out to Duran first (possibly after they made it through their list of people to talk to) and eventually invites Gingham back to the Disorder. He grabs something for them to drink in the kitchen and then moves to - ]
[ - well, for Gingham this is new. It's the new addition to the Disorder that happens to look like a crappy looking breakroom with some candy machines and a run down arcade machine. Avoids the more comfortable couch to take a place at their run down break room table and puts the drinks down. ]
Hi. Thanks for stopping to meet us -
Oh. Right. Gingham, this is Duran. Duran, this is Gingham.
[ awkwardly taking a seat and Not Looking at Either of them probably. ]

[glancing around the area, interested, before he looks towards duran and gives him a little wave and smile]
It's nice to meet you!

[ Smiles a little before settling into his chair and pulling his drink to him. ]
Um. Okay, so we were going to do something, but it needs a bit of an explanation?
And it's something we agree we should make other people know about is happening because it might be something stupid or it might be something dangerous?
[ glancing at gingham. he's not Good at this, apparently. ]

Um - we're hoping it won't be dangerous. We're kind of assuming it won't work, but just in case, we wanted someone from both of our Families to have a heads up if something happens.
You've heard that the boat is alive, technically, right? We want to try to talk to it.

[ Gingham has Phoenix practicing things like thinking ahead about doing something potentially dangerous and properly letting others know about it, what? Damn, that's amazing. ]
Unless you have to go somewhere really dangerous in the ship to do that, it doesn't sound like a bad idea to try at all.

That's what we thought? And we're totally prepared for it to be nothing, but there's the chance it might be something.
And we're still working out where? We have a couple of ideas.
But um, there's still a chance it might not be physically dangerous... but it might be mentally dangerous.
[ For either of them. It's half a segway. ]

Yeah. So... On the off chance something does happen and we need help getting out, we thought it would be smart to make sure someone knows where we are and how long to wait before coming to try and help us out of there.
[ Duran nods after a moment seemingly satisfied with what they're thinking. He doesn't even feel a need to offer his own input. ]
All right. Who is the contact in your Family? [ he asks gingham. ] That's probably something worth knowing on my end, as well.

... Gray and Frost know, too. And will come if needed, but we wanted to keep it you guys for obvious reasons.

Yeah. They're both really smart.

I guess it's weird to think about asking a ship something, which is why we asked others... but you're sure? Not even something you've been thinking about?
Or like, nothing you want to ask about our plan or anything?

Your profession?
Your profession?
That's definitely on the list of questions. Or if it like can function away from her? Was there someone before? Though we want to make sure to ask in yes/no types, too.
[ nods a little in agreement ]
He was - is? - my therapist.

Oh! Um - it's extra nice to meet you, then.
[but he nods]
That's totally cool. We appreciate the help anyways.

[Sometime after the announcement that the boat is going to dock but before Other Things happen, Duran will get a message sent his way.]
Hello, I hope today finds you well.
It seems we're to be returning to Port Manteau soon, and I was wondering if I could possibly convince you to spare me an hour or two of your time before then? To catch up a bit, or just to chat about nothing important, whichever you would like.
