"Hey…Kratos?"
"Something wrong, Lloyd?"
"No, I was just wondering…What's it like to live forever?"
"…If I find out, then I shall inform you."
"Aw, you know what I mean."
"If you are referring to the fact that I am over four thousand years old, then yes, I do know what you mean."
"Ack, why can't you just answer a question like a normal person?"
"And just what do you mean by that?"
"I mean—hey, wait, you're avoiding the question!"
"Lloyd…"
"Look, you know that if you don't answer me now then I'll just keep bugging you about it. All. Day. Long."
"…Be that as it may—"
"Could you just answer the question? Please?"
"…Lonely."
"Lonely?"
"Lonely."
"Wait, how's that? Don't you—didn't you live up in Derris-Kharlan with Mithos and Yuan? They're your friends, aren't they? Oh, wait, I guess Mithos really wouldn't be anymore, huh? But you still have Yuan—"
"Lloyd."
"Uh, right, sorry."
"Imagine…imagine staying the same age you are right now."
"Doesn't sound so bad."
"Watching as your family grows old and dies, your friends wither away in old age, being unable to stop it from happening and knowing that you can never follow them as you should…"
"…That would suck, but couldn't you make new friends?"
"Can you imagine replacing Colette and Genis?"
"I…see your point. But Colette's an angel too, and Genis is a half-elf, sooo…"
"It is near impossible for even an elf to live four thousand years, and Colette will most likely have to go through the same as I."
"…Shut up."
"You see my point."
"So, what, you just never made new friends?"
"I suppose you could say that, yes."
"Oh…Wait, then what about Mom?"
"…Meeting Anna was one of the greatest accidents of my life."
"One of them? There were more?"
"Just one…You."
"Hey, that's grea—Wait a second, are you saying that I was an accident?! What the hell is that supposed to mean?! What the—Are you laughing at me? Dammit, Kratos, stop laughing and answer me!"
"I—I apologize, Lloyd…"
"If you're so sorry then why are you still laughing?!"
That night…
"I wasn't really an accident, was I?"
"…I've already answered one of your questions today. Now go to sleep."
For some reason, writing this made me happy
Er…review?
