Ethan/Alabaster

Yes this is a ship. I've seen it multiple times.

And I still don't understand it.

We don't even know if they even met...

We know Alabaster was on the run from Lamia and Ethan got tempted to the wrong side and died.

Do either even mentioned the other? Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure they don't.

So... Why? Just why?
