“Genis!”

“Wait…there’s two of you…”
shingthesomauser started following you

“Hello. Who are you?”
She sat up straight once the brunette entered the room with look like that. It made her feel guilty after realizing why he was like that.
“L-Lloyd…” she muttered, surprised to hear him stutter twice. It wasn’t very like him, and knowing that it made her feel worse. She worried him more than she should have.
“I-I’m…sorry…”
“What? What are you saying sorry for? You should be resting.” Regardless of the fact that she had been resting for quite a long time now, his mother hen mode was clicking, causing him to walk further into the room, hand reaching up with the intent to lay it on her shoulder to guide her back to laying down.
Once in a close proximity to her though, something in him made him pause, hand shaking, the hesitant smile desperately trying to stay on his face. It wasn’t working.

Making himself move, he did place his hand on her shoulder, so many other wants battling to be met concerning the girl, trying to shift through them in his head without alarming her.
He couldn’t do it, placing his other hand at the top of her head, brushing through her bangs to purposefully make them fall in her face. Maybe then she could wouldn’t see that his eyes were getting misty.
“I-I’m really g-glad you’re awake. I-I’m…” He went silent. Eyes closing, physically and mentally holding himself back, wanting to do nothing but hug the girl close and not let her go, a thought that almost scared him in ways. He knew he was bad when his friends got hurt, but to be this hesitant about his own feelings.
“Just w-work on getting better. Okay?”
@ Lloyd
The summoner couldn’t help but give a smile and placed a hand on her hip with a bemused quirk of an eyebrow.
“Really?” She inquired dryly, head tilting ever so slightly in mock scrutiny, “Cause it sure seems to me that it has a habit of finding you, then.”
Chuckling lightly, the summoner regarded the swordsman like this for a few more moments before letting her hand drop back to her side as her expression softened.
“But anyway, I’ve been trying to find you for the past month or so now. I swear, you’re a lot harder to track down than I anticipated.” This was no small admittance, especially considering the fact that Sheena took Mizuho’s tracking abilities so seriously. Still, saying something like that to Lloyd felt… comfortable to her. She knew his views on Mizuho or her own tracking abilities wouldn’t lessen by her saying this, or that he’d tease her for that matter. “Zelos has been looking for you though. He said you promised to go looking for exsphere’s with him when you just… disappeared on him without a word.”
This time Sheena’s smile dropped to a small frown, concern now evident in her gaze.
“You haven’t been… too stressed or anything lately, have you?”
“Not my fault it finds me.” Must be all the red. He could easily be a beacon for anything. Why not trouble? “It doesn’t listen to me when I tell it to stay away.” He huffed, shrugging his shoulders, pout still evident.

Two could play the pick on the other person game, and with the admittance of not being able to find him, a smile tugged at his lips. “I must be becoming a ninja myself then. Been practicing you know.” He chuckled, eyes slipping close as the smile grew. “Got a few lessons anyway.” From Jay. Didn’t need another Zelos/Alvin moment. And okay not exactly picking on the ninja…more likely to come bite him on the butt when she insisted she show him his ninja skills.
That quickly turned to him blinking his eyes open, head tilting. “I did? I don’t remember that. I should go bug him.” He idly commented, thoughts drifting to where he had seen the red-headed chosen last. Meltokio would probably be a good place to start, and it’d been a long time since he had a companion to travel with. That might interfere on him visiting Lucia though. Decisions, decisions.

Her next question though…was harder to answer. Too stressed? Lucia and Dark Jay and then things not happening between him and Anna and Kratos…? How could he not be stressed? But… “Nothing I can’t handle. I’ve found something that makes me smile.” Though it brought a whole bunch of new stress to his life like what to do about the situation, but it was a welcome change from all the bad stressors. Now didn’t seem like a good time to be making any moves, but just getting the person to smile…
At first, Regal had been attributing Lloyd’s restlessness to hunger. More and more it was becoming evident, however, that there was more to it than just that. He watched Lloyd over the pot, almost made dizzy by Lloyd’s erratic need for activity. Regal did his best to supply the young man with chores, but there was only so much help he needed, and nothing could keep the brunette still for long.
Regal always tried not to pry unnecessarily into other people’s lives. He figured that if they wanted to tell him about it, they would. However, Lloyd’s strange, even for him, behavior was slightly worrying to the duke. The fifth wave of questioning finally dragged Regal’s curiosity and concern to the “irresistible” level.
“Lloyd, is something troubling you?”
“What? No! Why do you ask?”

So not helping his case there by answering so quickly but he wasn’t expecting Regal to answer his questions with more questions. It through him for a loop and caused him to react without thinking, physically taking a step away from the man as if that would get rid of his weird reaction.
dork-in-blue asked: CONTRACT?
Oh it seems like the day has ended and Luca is back to his usual self.
“…? Eh? Erm…well…that makes me wonder about my choice in reuniting Devaloka and Naraka… I did it because I felt as though I was correcting the mistakes that I had caused in my past life…”
“A-Ah, maybe I shouldn’t say it like that… I guess it’s more like I’m fixing Asura’s mistakes…? I thought that it would set everything right, and I guess it did…”

“I think reuniting the worlds is a bit different from changing everyone’s minds. After all, I did that too. Setting it how it should be. Everyone is still free to think as they wish.”
Jei smiled a little and nodded.
“I’ll do so and let the idiot in red out there know you’re awake too.”
and with that she’s off.
OH LLOYDIE, COME SEE YOUR GIRLFRIEND.“…Eh?” hearing that made her thoughts come to a halt with her mind now coming into a focus upon hearing that description. “L-Lloyd is…here too…?”
Oh hey did someone call for a Lloyd. Jei telling him that the girl was awake made him drop whatever he was doing, barely passing by the ninja with any words, only enough to say a quick thank you before he was hastening his way to her room.
Reaching there, he paused for two seconds before poking his head in, indeed seeing that she was awake, just like Jei was said. Seeing her eyes open…his shoulders dropped, tension he had been unaware of holding drifting away as his stance relaxed into the door frame, a smile sprouting easily despite the deflating the rest of his body was doing.

“Y-you’re awake…th-thank Martel…”
dork-in-blue asked: CONTRACT?
Why’s that?

That’d be changing a lot of people without their consent.
It doesn’t feel right.
