13th Combo - [Video]

[A letter. That's what Lloyd had come home to. A letter. A letter and a suddenly empty apartment, all of Zelos's things just... gone. Lloyd stands there, still numbly holding the letter. Things had been strained between them ever since he'd found out. Found out that Zelos was dead. And how. Why. But he hadn't seen this coming.

Moved out.

Gone.

His thoughts feel broken and stilted. Zelos was gone.

Squeezing his eyes shut, the teen drops heavily into a chair.]

Dammit...

[For a long time all he does is just sit there, too many emotions lodged in his throat and his head to manage anything else. Finally, he pulls his Dreamberry out. He probably looks as bad as he feels - guilty, miserable. Angry. - but he honestly doesn't care. He needs to say something, even if it's stupid and childish.]

Somebody hit Zelos when you see him.

[Video] Hey you~ Can you get on AIM? :3

[redcladidealist]

Yeah, he did.

[Trying so hard not to show how much this hurts, trying to stay angry.]

Damn it, if he'd just listen. Or talk. I don't understand...

[Video] - On as summoned~

[martelsnotpeach.livejournal.com]

Why would he just leave like that?

[Video] - Awesome~

[redcladidealist]

Because he doesn't want me trying to keep him from dying!

[Sorry, Mithos. Lloyd's emotions are frayed and on edge, and he's a little volatile right now.]

He wants to be dead!

[Video] - Yeppers!

[martelsnotpeach.livejournal.com]

Why would he want that?

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

I don't know. I didn't understand when he explained. He said he was tired of living, and that his life was a mistake. He said his sister would make a better Chosen - but he shouldn't want her to be Chosen in the first place! Chosens are supposed to give up their lives to regenerate the world!

[Still so easy to forget that Mithos is Yggdrasill, and that he especially should know that.]

[martelsnotpeach.livejournal.com]

So he'd be willing to die... so both of them may end up dead later?

[The laugh that follows is weak, mostly because he's holding back how he really feels about Lloyd's words. Zelos really was pathetic.]

He never does think things through, does he?

[It always feels good to have someone echo his feelings. Lloyd sighs, feeling more than a thread of irritation at his friend's recent decisions.]

No, he doesn't.

I don't suppose you know how to knock some sense into him...?

[Just a hint of a question at the end. Whether or not he's consciously thinking about it, he still wants to believe Mithos's assurances from before, that he can help.

He can help...]

[Video]

[martelsnotpeach.livejournal.com]

I... I suppose I could try.

[Though he's sure Zelos won't listen to him. That pathetic Chosen was never good at really listening to anyone, even his superiors.

He should at least attempt to, though, if he wants to keep this masquerade up.]

[That earns a small smile from Lloyd. Yeah, he's not sure how much luck Mithos will have, but having someone else try is still nice to have.]

Thanks, Mithos. Good luck.
