19th Combo - [Video]

[redcladidealist]

[There's a huge grin on Lloyd's face, the kind of grin you only give when you're pleased and excited and everything is right in the world, or when something amazing is happening.]

Hey, everyone! Guess who's officially an adult today!

[That's right, it's his birthday - or the one that he and Dirk celebrate. The only one he's ever known, so the only one that counts as far as he's concerned.]

Oh, yeah, by the way, Kanaya, I finished that necklace for you! When do you wanna meet up?

[He... hasn't realized yet that Kanaya is gone. Late with your gifts again, Lloyd. Always late. :/ ]

But man, I've been looking forward to this birthday so much! Now that I'm eighteen, I don't have to go back to school!

I don't think I have. I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever do meet her.

Do you have any friends from home here with you?

[redcladidealist]

Yeah! Genis, Colette, Zelos, Sheena, Emil, Mithos, and Kratos... They're all from the world I'm from. Well, Zelos sort of is - my world's split in two and he's from Tethe'alla and I'm from Sylvarant - and I'm not sure about Mithos and Kratos.

[Since they were both old enough to be from before there were two worlds.]

And Emil says there's only one world now when he's from. It's kind of confusing. But we all kind of came from the same place before we came to Somarium.

[beatskyon.livejournal.com]

Sounds too complicated.

[ehh she's not even bothering]

But it must be nice to have so many people around from home.

[redcladidealist]

[Probably just as well. Lloyd's pretty bad when it comes to explaining things like this.]

It is. I'm glad I'm not here alone. I still miss my other friends, though, and there are important things I need to do in my world, so I haven't given up trying to find a way back.

But I'm still glad for my friends. All of them. I've made lots of new ones here, too.

[beatskyon.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Well, good luck with your goals and everything. I'm sure you'll make it home before long.

I guess we are really lucky to have people here, huh?

[redcladidealist]

Thanks.

[He nods in complete agreement.]

Yeah, we are.

Hey, listen. I should probably get going. It was really nice to meet you, uh... What was your name?

[beatskyon.livejournal.com]

Me too, for that matter. I'm Arisa Uotani.

[redcladidealist]

Arisa. [He nods, committing her name to memory.] I'm Lloyd Irving.

[He grins and gives her a wave.]

So, yeah, I'll see you later, Arisa!
