Seated on his throne in a Dark Kingdom modeled to look a great deal like the Black Moon UFO, Demando holds a crystal in his hand. It projects a holographic image in front of him, which he watches intently.

If the people listening notice Rubeus has a very slightly smug look on his face, they don't say anything. After all, his words make sense

The crowd breaks up quickly, most of them simple everyday sorts glad to hear a message of hope- and equally glad to save their skins once Kunzite and Zoisite are there to make threats and take names. They'll take the name 'Black Moon' with them, though. And there will surely be some who go further, who seek them out.
Rubeus does not flee with the others. He sneers at Kunzite and Zoisite once they're alone.
"I'm here on the prince's orders," he says deliberately.

Kunzite pulls his sword from its sheathe now, nodding to tell Zoisite to remember the faces that had been gathered. While none have committed treason by merely listening to Rubeus... they will be watched, closely, after this. Any who do... will be dealt with swiftly.

He doesn't pay too much attention to the hologram except to note that Rubeus is on it and is giving some sort of speech somewhere, although he doesn't register the exact words- Demando should be lucky that he doesn't, considering the things Rubeus is saying wouldn't be too great in Safir's eyes.
"Nii-san?" Safir steps forward, slightly curious as to why Demando would be watching Rubeus giving a speech.

Because it can't be-
"Saffir!" It really is. Or at least, it certainly looks like him. Here, in the flesh, and unharmed. How is it possible? Has God not forsaken him after all? Is this some deviltry, or some miracle?
"Saffir!" Demando finally overcomes his shock enough to stand up. He closes the distance between them and reaches to engulf Saffir in a close, firm, embrace. "Brother."

He really can't help but smile. "Nii-san," he repeats, this time with the smile. Because if they're not going to get further than calling out to each other he might as well carry it on.

"You're here."

Was she on the Black Moon ship? She gazed at the Prince, tilting her head and watching him.

"You are most welcome here," he tells her. With everything that's happened, perhaps Saffir is - was - right it's less love and more of a mania.

"Hello Prince. I thank you for the welcome," she responded as a proper dignitary.

Perhaps it's insane after all.
Demando rises from his throne, and steps slowly but purposefully towards Sailor Cosmos.
