[Sandalphon stares intently at the manta rays the entire time, apparently taking Izumi's words extremely seriously. But of course, nothing happens, they're sea pancakes separated by very thick glass from the rest of the aquarium. He can't help but marvel the entire time Izumi pulls him along, eyes shining like a little kid's.
He had no idea oceans were like this. He doesn't even know how to begin to describe it for the people back home—so maybe it's fine if he just lets himself enjoy this moment here and now, without worrying about going back home.
When they arrive at the coral display and Izumi moves his mask down, Sandalphon instinctively steps slightly to the side, blocking the view of anyone who might be behind them. He really doesn't want a repeat of earlier, though the fact that this part of the tunnel is more or less secluded certainly helps. It really feels like a date, now, when they're so far away from the crowds...]

[Sandalphon chokes on his own compliment, averting his eyes to stare right at the phone as he takes pictures, blushing just as obviously as Izumi is. Why is it always here that he fails? Why can't he just say what he's thinking?
He snaps a few pictures, and then...well, he doesn't usually like asking Izumi to change poses because he doesn't want to make him feel like he's at work on one of his precious few days off, but...]
...Can I take one of you looking at the coral, too?
[It's not really a candid shot if he knows about it, but he'd like it anyway.]
