redcladidealistWarnings: None.
Effects: A sense of excitement and determination. (Optional.)
"The first thing you need to know," Lloyd said, lifting a finger with the confidence of someone who knew what they were talking about. "Is how to fly."
"Is that so?" Dino looked half amused, half bewildered at the prospect. "Ahaha, I must admit, I have never flown before, Lloyd."
"Don't worry," Colette chipped in cheerfully. "It isn't as hard as it looks." The blonde Chosen effortlessly extended her wings, pink, sparkling things that seemed to glow with an ethereal light. She flapped them once, lifting into the air a few inches. "See? Come on, Dino. Just try!"
"Hmm..." A look of concentration crossed the Italian's face. Lloyd leaned forward, excited. A pair of wings spread out from his back, too, though his were red and didn't sparkle as much. Dino glanced at those wings, and his lips twitched again. "Red like tomatoes, Lloyd?"
Lloyd reacted instantly, throwing a pillow at the other boy's head. "Ew! No way!" Obviously expecting the reaction, Dino laughed and shielded his face. Lloyd swatted him again anyway, then huffed and dropped the pillow. "They're red for courage, not tomatoes."
A small gasp distracted them both, drawing their attention back to Colette. Her blue eyes were wide. "You did it!" She pointed behind Dino's back. "Oh, I'm so happy!"
Sure enough, a pair of translucent gold wings fluttered gently behind the young man. Dino twisted his head around so he could stare at the things with no small amount of amazement.
Lloyd cheered as he spotted them. "Great! Now we just have to fly to the Tower of Salvation in your world, Dino. Colette can show you how to be a Chosen of Mana, and I'll be the guardian angel. With three of us, there's no way Yggdrasill can win! Come on, let's go!" He took off, unable to contain himself.
Chuckling at their friend's enthusiasm, the two blonds shared a look. Then, grinning, they both took off, too, leaving a flurry of pink and gold feathers behind.

Lloyd stirs as the morning light hits his eyes, then yawns and rolls onto his side. The Dreamberry transmits for another few minutes, then shuts off, allowing the peaceful teen his sleep.

Date: 2011-04-19 03:23 am (UTC)Yes, I believe they do.
[There's no use in being enigmatic about it. Lloyd will likely end up seeing them anyway, unless Kratos can figure out how to filter them.]
video;
Date: 2011-04-19 03:29 am (UTC)[He hadn't been expecting Kratos to openly admit that. Kratos was so closemouthed about just about everything that...
Augh. Damn it, now he's curious. Kratos is doing this on purpose, isn't he. B|]
video;
Date: 2011-04-19 03:42 am (UTC)Yes. Some dreams, indeed, seem to be of little consequence. But others can tell you a great deal about yourself, and...what's most important to you.
[He shouldn't have said it. He shouldn't have said it.]
video;
Date: 2011-04-19 03:57 am (UTC)[Frowning, the teen warily eyes his former mentor.]
So, what, you think that dream means I want to be an angel?
video;
Date: 2011-04-19 04:02 am (UTC)...No. Perhaps it's not that literal.
video;
Date: 2011-04-19 04:08 am (UTC)Huh? Wait, since when did dreams read books?
video;
Date: 2011-04-19 04:12 am (UTC)No, that's...not what I meant.
[Really, Lloyd, you should have paid more attention in school.]
I mean, perhaps the wings were more symbolic.
Re: video;
Date: 2011-04-19 04:17 am (UTC)Oh.
[He frowns, folding his arms skeptically.]
I don't get it. What else would wings mean besides angels?
video;
Date: 2011-04-19 04:42 am (UTC)He huffs, hoping he would have drawn his own conclusions.]
Perhaps it is just a metaphor for how far you're willing to go to help your friends.
video;
Date: 2011-04-19 11:50 am (UTC)Yeah... Yeah! I would go that far for my friends!
[He grins, momentarily forgetting who he's talking to.]
I'd even become an angel for them. That's what that dream means!
video;
Date: 2011-04-19 05:57 pm (UTC)He'd even...become an angel for them.]
As the Chosen was going to do?
video;
Date: 2011-04-19 09:53 pm (UTC)No. No one should have to sacrifice themselves like that, Kratos. I could get used to not eating or sleeping, or maybe not feeling anything anymore, but I won't give up my heart or my memory of my friends. That'd be as bad as sacrificing them, and I won't do that.
[He shakes his head.] No, if I became an angel, I'd make sure I had a good Key Crest. That's how we got Colette back, so I know it's possible.
video;
Date: 2011-04-20 03:21 am (UTC)The small smile is gone from his face in an instant, and Lloyd would have had to been paying quite close attention to even notice the mercenary's expression had changed at all.
Lloyd. He expected you to say something like that.]
You seem to be quite capable of accomplishing such feats when you put your mind to it.
Re: video;
Date: 2011-04-20 03:30 am (UTC)He shakes his head again, refusing to hear the compliment for what it is. Kratos doesn't have any reason to be praising him, just like he doesn't have a reason to smile.
He folds his arms, looking away.]
That's what friendship means to me. Just remember that when we find a way home.
video;
Date: 2011-04-20 03:50 am (UTC)[Because their truce was only temporary. He shouldn't expect anything to come of it when they return.]
video;
Date: 2011-04-20 11:27 am (UTC)Good.
[And with that, he reaches up to turn the Dreamberry off.]
