[It's only a matter of time before Sanji tracks Belph down once everyone's settled -- and by "settled" he means distressed and ready to break the windows of the bus wide open. Sadly it's hard to find a place that's private, but they manage the best they can with a corner on the second deck in the entertainment area.
And Sanji's brought alcohol. Of course he did. Old habits die hard and all.]
Oi... we gotta talk.

[belph will forgive sanji only because he's a pal.
there's... something he wants to ask him, actually, but it's not exactly the kind of thing you just blurt out.]
Honestly? Given that there are a near infinite number of different worlds, it's entirely plausible that more than one has the power to abduct others.
And there are others who're apparently from other killing games, so... I don't think this has anything to do with the castle.

[how to word this...?]
If it turns out we're stuck in another killing game...
[...]
It sounds like the murders weren't necessarily voluntary in some others, like they were in ours—for a given definition of "voluntary", at least. But... if we're in our right mind, then if either of us gets picked—
What do you say to a pact?

Pretty much. [he smiles, though it's without mirth.] Not mutually, though. Whoever gets picked first, I guess. And assuming a better option doesn't come up, like someone here is conveniently a kill-happy psychopath or whatever.
[in a way, belph knows that as forced murderers go, he got off lucky in the castle. killing reyna was still traumatizing, but she'd been a willing victim, at least, thanks to her and el melloi's agreement.
but that's why this sort of thing came to mind—and there's no way he could discuss this with steph or hikage.]

... You know damn well I don't mind if it's you who kills me.
[The same goes with Steph, frankly, though Sanji chooses not to voice that. He figures Belph's got plenty on his plate with both her and hikage here.
... Guess he should be glad he's hoofing it alone, eh, Zelos?]
Though before we got making this pact, let's wait a few days. If it's anything like the shit that happened back in the castle, we could be given duties again.
[The kind of thing that might put a wrinkle in their plans]

Well, considering we got abducted, it's not implausible they also did, even if by a different party.
[belph is not exactly an optimist or a reassuring person, sorry. he shrugs.]
But the fact of the matter is that if our captors didn't take them, then we'll probably have no way of ever knowing for as long as we're here. That'd be something for one of our worldhoppers or whatever to confirm, if we get out of here.

... You are a goddamn ray of sunshine, you know that?
[SORRY HE'S JUST. Amused by that blunt reply. But it's a reminder of why he likes hanging with Belph.]
Fine then. If we survive whatever bullshit's gonna happen to us here, we'll just have to go back and make sure everyone gets their happy ending.
[Listen he did not kill and die (for three hours) to fail.]
