Hey! This is Lloyd! Or, well, sort of. This isn't actually me, it's just this recording thing. I don't really get how it works, but it works, so if you leave a message, I'll get back to you soon! I promise!

No problem. Same goes for you if you need any help. I'm on the Defense Force, too!

From:

closedcircuit

That's a very kind offer.

And...it's always to meet someone else who's on it. How are you finding being on the Defense Force?

From:

redcladidealist

It's a little boring sometimes, actually. I guess that's a good thing, since it means nothing bad is happening, but sometimes I still want something to do.

From:

closedcircuit

I understand. I'm used to spending all of my free time on something important. Here, it's...an artificial idleness.

From:

redcladidealist

I've been spending my free time training and making stuff. I'm going to build a boat! This isn't my world, so I know I can't get home that way, but maybe if I can sail somewhere else, I can find more clues or something that will help.

From:

closedcircuit

It's commendable that you're not giving up just because you're here. It seems like too many people have.

From:

redcladidealist

Nah, I'm not about to give up. Dwarven vow number sixteen: You can do anything if you try! It's only once you stop trying that you can't do anything.

From:

closedcircuit

...Dwarven vow?

I agree with the sentiment, but I'm not quite sure where you've gotten it from.

From:

redcladidealist

The Dwarven Vows are the general code and rules that dwarves live by, or pieces of good advice. My Dad's a dwarf. He made me memorize them.

From:

closedcircuit

Does that mean that you're...a dwarf? Or half dwarven?

[What do dwarves even look like..?]

From:

redcladidealist

[One of these days Lloyd will figure out that when he explains things like that, people will assume the wrong thing. That day is not today, though. He blinks in surprise, then understanding.]

Huh? Oh! No, I'm human. My Dad found me when I was three, after my parents died. He took me in and raised me as his son, so as far as I'm concerned, he's my Dad.

From:

closedcircuit

Ah. In that case, it seems fortunate that he was able to take you in, and that he found you. It sounds as though he did a good job raising you.

From:

redcladidealist

Yeah, I'm really lucky...

[The feed is voice only, but Ky might still hear the soft smile in Lloyd's voice. He really loves his Dad and appreciates when people recognize what Dirk did.

Of course, there's also a hint of pleased embarrassment at being complimented like that.]

Thanks. You sound like a pretty nice guy, too. Maybe we could meet sometime.

From:

closedcircuit

[ Ky's own parents died when he was young, and he respects his former military commander for being the closest he had to a father. He understands how much it can mean just to have someone he trusts and believes in enough to give him advice.

But as for Lloyd's question... ]

Perhaps, but Zelos did tell me rather explicitly to stay away from you. I broke it in talking to you, but that was because I was concerned. If I can comply with his wishes for the future, it would probably be better if I did.

From:

redcladidealist

[What.

Lloyd stares at his SFCF as what Ky just said sinks in. Even once it does, it doesn't sound any better than it did the first time. The teen's brows furrow, caught somewhere between anger and confusion.]

Why would Zelos tell you to stay away from me?

From:

closedcircuit

[The question just makes Ky feel bad about the fact that he ignored Zelos.]

I think he's trying to protect you.

He really doesn't like me.

From:

redcladidealist

[Yeah, Zelos is definitely in trouble. Lloyd huffs, clearly not happy about this.]

Why would I need to be protected from you? If it's just because he doesn't like you, that's not a good reason!

From:

closedcircuit

I won't deny being at fault for some of the negativeness of our interactions. But I don't think he would have thought me likely to cause you any harm.

I merely expressed concern at the situation as I saw it.

From:

redcladidealist

You mean this situation? Because you were worried about me?

[Still not seeing a good defense for Zelos trying to limit who he can talk to. He's going to have to talk to his friend. B| ]
