It had been a little over three years. Three long years since their journey together had ended.. since they've defeated Cruxis and reunited the worlds, and the crew split they're separate ways. Zelos, Colette and Seles all agreed to let Seles take the title of The Chosen. Colette was glad for both of them, happy with doing what she could for them. Seles was grateful, but still was quite rude towards her brother. And Zelos, though glad to be rid of it, seemed to slip now and again showing how deeply depressed he was now that he was no longer Chosen. Girls still flocked to him, but not nearly as much. He had to give his mansion to Seles, who awkwardly let him stay there(since he had nowhere else to go). Sheena seemed to be the only girl who had stuck with him, though if you asked her she would deny it completely to the bitter end. Raine and Genis had spent most their time trying to rid the new world of its hate for half-elves. Presea had finally managed to get Regal to remove his shackles, which, in the end, let him become a much better chef. The two had stayed together, and worked in Regal's company. Lloyd had left on his journey to collect all the exspheres with Colette and Noishe, just like he said he would.
A few months after leaving, they had married. And with the birth of a son, Nikhil, they decided to halt the exsphere hunt until he was older. They four of them, including Noishe, live in a two story house a little bigger than Dirks, but much the same, between Iselia and the beginning of the Triet dessert. Partly hidden within a thin forest, seemingly full of musical birds. A small stream ran in front of their house with a little bridge that led to Noishe's plant-covered pen. It rested on top a slight hill, the path leading to it was wide and bare, as the house sat just within the border of the forest, outlooking the open world.
About two months ago, Colette and Lloyd had sent out letter-like-invitations for a little reunion at their house. Everyone responded eagerly, but Dirks was a little surprising. Apparently Dirk had just received the letter when Kratos appeared at his door asking he knew where Lloyd was. In the respond was Kratos' neat handwriting, saying he was coming in place of Dirk, who was going to be meeting with Altessa at the time. Though disappointed Dirk wasn't coming, Lloyd was awfully glad, and surprised, that he was able to get to see his father again.
Two months of waiting and cleaning had come and gone. Today, for the first time, in little over three years, the group was going to get back together, and Colette and Lloyd were both really nervous to think what the others were going to say, or what to bring up for a conversation at dinner. But it was still rather early, and Lloyd tried not to think too much of it. Light shone in brightly through the large window, that took up much of the wall beside the door. Through it Lloyd noticed Noishe wonder off. He thought nothing of it, as Noishe did it regularly.
The family sat at the table, which they had enlarged for tonight's and the next week's or so dinners. Lloyd sat with his young son in his lap, smiling down at him as they both laughed and giggled. Nikhil was only about two years old. His soft, thin hair was a brownish golden color, and even with the little amount it was, it managed to form spikes here and there. He wore clothes that Lloyd had painstakingly made for him with the help of Dirk. It was light material, of white and brown colors. His shoes, which he hardly ever wore, were dark brown. Always grinning, never crying, he was a wonderful gift to the couple. Colette adored him, which made her husband feel less guilty for putting her through having him. But the conversation never came up so Lloyd just had to assume that she was okay with it, it looked she did anyway.
He sighed nervously and looked over to the window, brushing some hair away from his right eye. Putting on a grin he turned to Colette, "Hey, Colette!" he said, turning around excitedly, "Guess who's here?"
She tried to look out the window, but her vision was blocked by Lloyd, who had put himself in her way of vision so she wouldn't cheat. "Uhhh…hmmm…" she thought for a while, grinning. "I give up – who?" she asked asked playfully.
It seemed he couldn't smile any larger as he practically skipped to the door. He set Nikhil down on the sofa, which was placed with its back against the window, and opened the door. "Raine! Genis!" Colette exclaimed running up to the door to greet them. Her hands clasped together against her chest as she smiled heartily. "Come in!" Lloyd and Colette said in unison. Lloyd pulled aside to let the two in as they followed Colette to a group of chairs across from the sofa and next to the stairs, that were directly across from the door.
Genis sighed in relief and took a seat, closing his eyes, with a stupid, smug smile on his face, "Raine never lets me sit in an actual chair… and its so hard traveling without the Rheards…" Raine stood in front of Genis, talking eagerly with Colette. Raine hadn't changed at all it seemed. She wore the same clothes and such. But her hair was a little longer and a little less uppy, more like her mothers.
Lloyd walked up to Genis. "So, how's it going?" he asked Genis, not knowing really what else to say. Genis had changed, he was much taller, though still shorter than Lloyd, and wore new clothes similar to the ones he had before. He now had pants instead of shorts, and had boots, somewhat like Lloyds had been only shorter and let 'decorative'. His undershirt now had long sleeves that came to a point over the back of his hand. But his hair was what caught Lloyd's attention the most. A lot of it was swooped to the sides like Raine's was. It was also incredibly longer in the back, though not at long as the two long strands that fell past his face and over his shoulder. Apparently now they were to heavy to stick out to the sides. Though his hair seemed much more straight, spikes could still be found. But for some reason it kind of reminded Lloyd of Mithos' hair.
"Oh - Lloyd?" he exclaimed surprised. He seemed to have a face that said 'OMG REALLY?' to Lloyd.
"Wh- what?" Lloyd asked surprised, his eyes widening and his cheeks coloring.
"Oh.. heheh" replied Genis, rubbing the back of his head, "Its nothing, its just you look so different!" He smiled, and looked at Lloyd.
Lloyd grinned widely, "Oh?" his face went into deep thought for a while, "Is that bad? I've never really thought about my looks – I just sort of went with it." He grinned again. "You look a lot different too, you know." He pointed out.
"Yea, but not as much as you have…" he bluntly pointed out, "I mean, its not bad, just … different that's all." Genis nodded and continued to look at Lloyd. His classic red outfit was no more. He now wore clothes that seemed to Genis like a combination of his royal outfit with his old one. It was mostly white, or light gray, with dark brown, such as his boots and gloves, and some red here and there. His left handed glove now covered Lloyds exsphere, which slightly surprised him for reasons he couldn't put his finger on. Two strands of red cloth hung from the back of his collar. They where a little longer than his last ones, and widened slightly, before coming to a tattered point just above the ground. But what caught Genis by surprise the most was how much his hair had changed. Genis couldn't stop eyeing it. Lloyds hair had grown out to turn up much like Kratos', only much of it still went to the right, and was slightly shorter, especially in the back, where it revealed some of his neck. In fact it was so much the same that even a large amount of hair fell in front of one of his eyes. And instead of two strands falling against his face, they fell over his ears and onto his back. But besides that, his build hadn't changed that much, a little more muscular but not much more.
Lloyd blinked, besides the fact that his two rusty-colors belts and sheathes were hung in his room instead of on his waist, he felt relatively the same – except the hair that kept falling in front of his right eye, which somewhat annoyed him, but he ignored it for the most part, and was getting used to it. "Have I really changed that much?" He asked, somewhat worried at the look he, and now Raine, were now giving him. Since Raine hadn't seemed to change, he decided not to ask her for his opinion. She was probably just going to keep talking forever and ever anyways. He thought nervously about what the others were going to think.
Looking over quickly at Nikhil, to just check on him. He didn't know what to talk about, and it was kind of awkward. Talking about his child, of whom Genis didn't even notice, didn't even cross his mind. Luckily, a knock was heard at the door. He instantly turned to answer it.
