Chapter three! Did all of you like that cliffhanger? Eee hee hee...
Colette: O.o;...Um...Freaky...
Me: Yes?
Colette: ...Nevermind... Freakyanimegal owns nothing.
Me: Thank you! On with the show! ...Story, whatever, you get the point.
Confrontation
"You're...!" Genis gaped.
Lloyd froze, his heart beating a million miles an hour in his chest. Oh crap, he was so screwed, he was so so so so so
screwed...! What was he going to do?! Wait, no, don't panic, panic is bad, right? Don't- AH! WHAT WAS HE GOING TO DO!?
HE WAS SO FREAKING DEAD-!!
"I'm...?" he said slowly, desperately trying to sell the act.
"I...I'm sorry..." Genis tilted his head to the side, "you just...look a LOT like someone I..."
Lloyd did his best not to yelp.
"Genis, what's the matter?"
The young half-elf turned behind him to see his sister, who had noticed the strange situation and decided to investigate.
Lloyd almost had a stroke.
"Oh, sis! Doesn't this guy...look a lot like...?"
Raine looked at Lloyd and her eyes widened briefly before they narrowed with suspicion. Lloyd, of course, was about to die
from the anxiety build-up.
"...And who might you be, exactly?" she asked, arms crossed.
"M...My name's..." he stammered.
Okay! You can do this! Deep breathes! Deep breathes! Calm! Act like some badass 'I'm too cool for you' guy-...like Kratos.
Okay, maybe not Kratos, just...look her in the eye and say the name.
"...I'm Lartan Albane," he said coolly, "I don't believe I've had the pleasure of meeting you, ma'am."
Inside his head, Lloyd wondered where the hell that had come from.
"...Really?" she looked him over once more. "...My name is Raine Sage, this is my little brother, Genis."
"Nice to meet you," he nodded politely.
...Woah...he was pulling this off pretty good...
"Pardon me for saying so, but you bear a heavy resemblance to someone we know," she said.
Oh crap oh crap oh crap...
"I do?" Lloyd asked.
"Yes...maybe you're of relation, do you know someone named 'Kratos Aurion'?"
Lloyd's brain shorted. WHAT?! What the hell did she mean KRATOS?! Where the hell had that come from...?!
"Uh..." he stammered, shocked, "um...n-no, don't think I do."
"Really?" Raine raised an eyebrow. "Hm...I see you use an exsphere."
D'oh!
"Um...yes, what about it?" he asked. "I see you do too."
"Just curious, are you a soldier of some kind?"
"Uhm...I'm a...traveler," he said, not a complete lie, "I like going around the world, seeing new sights, exploring strange
places... I'm just an adventurous type, I guess...heh heh..."
"...Right," Raine said again, obviously not buying the act.
"Lartan Albane..." Genis frowned, "Hey! I heard people talking about you! You're supposed to be a really awesome fighter!"
"R-really...?" Lloyd laughed nervously. "Well...thank you, I guess..."
Raine's glare, if it was at all possible, intensified.
"Well...sorry to bother you," Raine said simply, "...you know..."
"Eh?" Lloyd looked at her.
"...Nevermind," she said, walking away.
"...Whew..." Lloyd let out a sigh of relief.
Okay...he'd dodged that bullet...but...the really didn't recognize him? And...why the HELL did they think he was related to
KRATOS of all people...? Lloyd froze and slowly picked up a spoon he had been using to stir the coffee, the color draining
from his face when he noted his hair. He looked like Kratos. He FREAKING looked like KRATOS-!! Well...he didn't have the hair
in the eyes...and it was a LITTLE different bu-! But-! Holy CRAP! How could he possibly look so much like Kratos, that
damned, Seraphim traitor?!
"We should get back to the pacts,"
Lloyd picked up the sentence and temporarily forgot his mental plight, listening in on his friend's conversation.
"W-what?! But Raine-!" Genis stammered.
"Look, we're all worried about Lloyd, but we don't have any more leads on him,"
"But Professor-!" Colette cried.
"I didn't say we'd stop looking, we'll look while we make the pacts," the half-elf said, "it's not doing any of us good looking
around for him here, besides...if Cruxis or the Renegades did get him, I'm sure they'll come to us..."
"Raine! How can you say that?" Sheena scoffed. "That's cold!"
"We have no choice, really," Raine stated, "..besides...we all know Lloyd, he'd rather we get back to severing the mana links
than look for him... I'm worried about him as well, but we know he's alive, at least, based on what Kratos said... For now, we
should focus on what's more important for the sake of the worlds."
"...I hate to admit it, but the glamorous beauty has a point," Zelos said, "...we really should get back to the pacts, we're not
getting anywhere looking for my bud."
"B-but-!!" Colette stammered.
"I'm sorry, Colette," Raine said, frowning, "but..."
"...I...I can look for him!" Colette said. "You guys can make the pacts and-"
"Me too!" Genis said.
"Out of the question," Raine snapped, "leaving you two alone is just asking for you to get killed, Cruxis is already after
Colette, we can' t risk anything of the sort!"
"B-but..." the blond stammered.
"..." Genis whimpered.
Lloyd flinched, feeling as if he had just been stabbed in the heart. He was making them all go through so much... They were
so worried about him, even the Professor was, he could tell, and he was right here...
"...We should head back to the Darkness Temple," Raine said, "...we'll look for him more after that."
Something in Lloyd's head went 'DING!'...Yes, even he has his moments.
"E-excuse me..."
The group turned to him as he walked up, trying to avoid looking at any of their faces.
"Dude...who the hell is he...?" Zelos whispered.
"I don't know..." Sheena whispered, examining the 'strangers' looks, "...but...dang..."
Zelos jolted.
"W-what?! Sheena-!!"
"I'm sorry," Lloyd said, "I overheard a bit of what you were saying...something about going to the Darkness Temple? I hate
to ask this, but do you think you could take me along?"
He was answered by several stares of either suspicion or curiosity.
"What?" Raine hissed. "And why would you want to go there?"
"I..have something I need to do there," Lloyd said, "thing is, I can't get there by myself but you guys sound like you have a
way...so I fugred I'd ask, at least..."
"Oh? And why should we take you?" Raine crossed her arms, glaring.
"...Um...well..." Lloyd fidgeted, "...I guess you don't really have a reason to...but...look, I really REALLY need to get to that
Temple, it's important... I...my life might be totally ruined if I don't."
It was true, after all, if he didn't kill that thing...he'd never be himself again...
"Uh-hm...and how pray-tell would your life be ruined?"
Lloyd frowned and then glared at her, "That's personal."
"...Professor...we should let him come," Colette said.
"What-?" Raine gasped.
"W-well...he sounds like he really needs help," she smiled, "we have an extra rheaird right now...I'm sure Lloyd would want
to help him, if he were here, so..."
"..." Lloyd looked at her.
"...He doesn't SEEM like a bad guy..." Genis said slowly, "...besides, we're just going to give him a lift, right?"
"He looks like he can fight," Sheena pointed out, her eyes still tracing the sculpted torso, "maybe he could help us a little..."
"W-what-!? We don't know WHO this guy is or anything! Why should we bring him!?" Zelos pointed.
"...Personally, Chosen, it sounds to me as if you simply don't want him around for the sake of your pride," Regal said calmly.
"WHAT?!" Zelos roared.
"Huh?" Lloyd blinked.
"...He bears a heavy resemblance to Kratos Aurion..." Presea said.
Everyone froze.
"However..." she seemed to scan Lloyd with her eyes, "...he...seems...nice."
"Please, Professor?" Colette asked. "I'm sure that's what Lloyd would want."
Raine closed her eyes, grimacing a bit before she sighed.
"...Please leave us alone a minute Mr. Albane, we'll discuss it," she said.
"...Right," he nodded, "thank you..."
Lloyd slowly turned form them and headed back to the opposite side of the room where he had been eating, sitting down
into the chair once more as he gazed off into space. He couldn't believe this was happening... All of this was just...wrong!
It...and... Presea said he looked like Kratos too...Why? Why did he look like...? He groaned and held his head, wishing that
he could just wake up and find himself sleeping in camp with his friends after some weird dream... After a few minutes of him
shifting between wondering about his appearance and glancing over nervously at his friends, he finally saw Raine motion for
him to come over.
"..." Lloyd swallowed nervously and walked over, "...Yeah?"
Raine glared at him a moment, then back at the group before sighing.
"...We'll drop you off, that's it, we have business of our own there," she hissed.
After all, if he was an enemy it'd be best to keep him under watch...that and they were the only people here, he would've
attempted to attack or capture them if he was with Cruxis or the like...but...
"...Thank you so much!" Lloyd grinned. "Really, you don't know how much this means to me!"
"Don't thank me, it was Colette...Mr. Albane," she said, turning away, "but don't try anything funny, understood?"
"...Yes," he nodded, not bothering to question why...he kinda knew.
"...Mr. Albane?" Colette blinked.
"Huh-? O-oh yeah, I'm Lartan Albane, sorry about that," he smiled nervously.
Sheena felt a blush creep into her cheeks and Colette twitched a bit at the sight of his smile.
"I-I'm Colette," she said, stammering a bit.
Lloyd smiled wider, "...That's a beautiful name."
Colette began to flush as well.
"I'm Sheena!" the ninja all but blurted.
"Nice to meet you," he said simply.
The summoner felt like she had been slapped.
"I already introduced myself," Genis smiled weakly, "that's Presea, that's Regal, and that's Zelos. Usually we have someone
else but...he's...kind of gone missing...he's the guy I asked you about, remember?"
"...Oh," Lloyd said simply, trying to keep a straight face.
"W-would you like to eat breakfast with us?" Sheena stammered. "We just sat down so-"
"What?! We just met the guy! Let him go sit by himself!" Zelos snapped.
Sheena smacked him.
"I-I think it'd be nice for him to eat with us," Colette flushed, "h-he's...you know, it's nice to do that."
"Uh..." Lloyd trailed, "Well..."
He really did want to sit with them, but at the same time he wanted to stay far, far away. He just...couldn't be comfortable
around him while they were worried about him, pretending to be someone else...
"...Well...?" Colette repeated, hopeful.
He glanced away and Colette noted he was extremely cute when he did so...like when he smiled...and laughed... The
swordsman was too old for her, she knew, but she still couldn't stop herself from noting that almost everything about the
newcomer was attractive...
"..." she paled.
Oh no! How could she think such a thing?! Lloyd was off somewhere, and here she was thinking some older, new guy was
handsome?! How could she betray him like that?! She liked Lloyd! As in...LIKED! Oh, what kind of person was she to do
something like this?!
"Hey...are you all right?" Lloyd asked her.
"F-fine!"
Inside her head she screamed, He's looking at me-!!
Sheena's, of course, was more along the lines of: Why won't he look at me?!
Zelos was summed up like so: Bastard! Why is Sheena looking at YOU?!
Lloyd, of course, was oblivious to the whole thing.
"Are you sure you're okay, Colette?" Lloyd frowned, walking over to her. "If you're not feeling well you should say
something, you know..."
Colette flushed bright red.
"...What? What'd I say?" Lloyd frowned.
"N-nothing...that's just really nice of you! Heh heh!" she giggled.
Lloyd's eyes narrowed.
"So...are you going to sit with us, or what?" Sheena asked, still trying to get his attention.
"...I..." Lloyd hesitated a minute, looking at his friends before looking back where he sat... "...I think I'll go back over there.
Thank you for offering, really, but uh...I just want to sit over there."
"Oh. ...All right..." Sheena said, her face falling.
"A-are you sure?" Colette stammered.
She mentally smacked herself, berating her mind for trying to get him to stay when she should be worrying about Lloyd.
"I'm fine," he forced a smile, "thanks."
He walked back over to his seat and sat down, gazing down into the now cooling coffee. ...This wasn't right, it just wasn't...
A few hours later Lloyd found himself once again walking into the Darkness Temple with his friends, though this was so much
more uncomfortable than the first time he had done so. When they did this the other day, he was laughing around with
Genis and talking with the others... Now he found himself far at the back of the group, trying to avoid them. They would look
back at him every now and then, but they wouldn't say anything... Lloyd's face fell. Oh well, just think, a little longer and
you'll beat that thing and get back to normal! He just had to find it again...
"Lartan,"
Lloyd heard the word but paid no attention to it, forgetting what it was.
"Lartan!"
Oh yeah...that was his name.
"Y-yes?" he looked up. "Sorry about that...I...spaced..."
"...Here, it's a blue candle," she said, handing it to him.
"Huh?" Lloyd blinked.
"You need it to see in the Temple," she said, "we have one of our own, Sheena picked this one up before we left."
"...O-oh, right, thanks," he nodded.
"We'll be going our separate ways now," she said, "good luck."
"Professor! It's dangerous to let him go by himself!" Colette said.
"Y-yeah, besides, how would he get back to Meltokio?" Sheena asked.
"That wasn't part of the agreement," Raine said icily, "we said we'd take him up here, that was it."
"Yeah, so let's go already," Zelos said.
"But Professor...!"
"Sis...they've kind of got a point," Genis said, "how will he get back?"
Raine glared at them all a minute before sighing once more.
"...If you're at the entrance by the time we leave, we'll take you back to Meltokio," Raine said to Lloyd, "but if you're late, we
won't wait for you, do you understand?"
Lloyd felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. Why was Raine being so cold to him...?
"...I understand," he said, nodding.
"Good," with that she turned on heel and walked off, "come on, let's get moving."
"B-bye Mr. Lartan!" Colette waved. "Be careful!"
"Don't get hurt!" Sheena called.
"...Y-yeah... Same for you guys! Be careful!"
They nodded and soon were swallowed up by the darkness. Lloyd looked around, holding the candle tightly. Okay...he had
to find that thing... Where did he see it again...? Okay, they were on the stairs that lead to the area they were herding
Shadow in, then he fell... Wait! Weren't there stairs down there anyway? Great! It had to be further down. So he headed
off, down deeper in deeper into the abyssal reaches of the structure. There were a lot of stairs down here, for sure...then he
reached a fork. One path branched off but the stairs kept going down.
This way.
"What the-?! ...What...the...?"
Lloyd turned to find a trail of some dark, glowing red substance on the floor, leading off down the path into the darkness. His
eyes narrowed and he pulled out his swords, following the path further in. It wasn't long before he found himself on a large
platform of some sort, the blue candle barely illuminating enough so he could see three feet around him.
Bright red eyes blazed open.
"You...!" Lloyd growled, holding up his swords.
So you've come back, it said.
"Change me back!" Lloyd snapped.
Why would I do that? You're a much more serious challenge in that form.
"I don't care! Change me back right now!" Lloyd demanded.
I don't care for conversation...
"You-! WOAH-!!"
He almost staggered backwards when suddenly area around him lit up, the substance that had lead him here melded
together into a glob that hovered above the platform like a dark sun, casting a red light upon the scene.
"What the hell-!? ...Oh...crap..."
The eyes belonged to a large, dark red creature that looked something like a cross between a cat and a snake. The head
was cat-like and it had two pairs of legs, but the body between them was long and flexible looking, the tail ending in a rattle
of some kind. It opened it's jaw wide like a serpent, venom-dripping fangs the size of his swords visible in the dusk.
"...Oh crap," Lloyd said again.
Let's begin,
"Woah-!"
Lloyd barely dodged in time to avoid it's scythe-like claws which were followed after almost immediately by fangs. The
swordsman managed to dodge, his heart pounding violently as he quickly executed 'rising falcon' and managed to get a
large cut on one of its ears. It hissed loudly before striking with it's tail, which Lloyd found himself countering by using psi
tempest and cleanly severing the attachment from the monster's body. It let out a screech almost like an angry 'mrow!'
before attempting snap the red-clad warrior up in its jaws. Lloyd went do dodge but didn't notice the beast had slinked
some of its long body behind him...and pushed him forward, one of the fangs sinking into his leg.
"GAH-!!" Lloyd shouted.
He managed to back away, his vision growing blurry from the venom. Quick! Panacea bottle! The swordsman managed to
gulp down a bit, the poison cleansed from his system though the wound was still bleeding.
"Oh Sylph..." he groaned, barely standing on his feet.
"Healing wind!"
Lloyd gasped as a warm green light surrounded his leg, the bleeding coming to a halt.
"W-what the-?!"
"JUDGMENT!"
Lloyd shielded his eyes as a million rays of light shot down on the field, the creature shrieking and weaving in and out of the
pillars in some bizarre, serpentine motion to avoid the spell.
"How the hell...?!" Lloyd stared.
Where did that come from...?! Who could've...?!
"Woah-!"
He didn't have time to question it any further, however, as he dodged several more swipes from the creature's talons. He
had to kill this thing! No time to worry about those spells! The beast's jaws came for him...
"SUPER SONIC THRUST!!"
Then it stopped, Lloyd's sword jutting up through it's throat out the back of its head. There was a sick schluping sound as he
pulled out the blade and it collapsed, blood streaming from it. Lloyd panted heavily and sheathed his swords, glaring at the
creature at his feet.
"Change me back," he said again.
Heh...heheheheh...
"What the hell are you laughing about?!"
The beast drew in a ragged breath, one eye locked on his two.
Who said I'd change you back?
Lloyd went wide-eyed.
"W-what-!?"
I never said I'd change you back, human.
"...B-but..." Lloyd stammered, "...grr...CHANGE ME BACK RIGHT NOW!!"
Who said I could?
Lloyd lost all the color in his face.
"...You...you mean I...I'm...?"
Lloyd staggered backwards from the dying beast, shaking as he looked at his hands. He was stuck like this...? But...how
would...? How could...? What would he do?! He...he'd never be able to go back to his friends, to go back home, not like
this...not as...Lloyd... Even if he did manage to convince them he was him, things would never...they would never be right
again...What...what was he going to do?! What COULD he do?! WHAT WOULD HE DO!?
"No...you're lying! You're lying you big over-sized furball-!!
"He's not,"
Lloyd jolted and turned to the side, where Kratos Aurion stood with glazed eyes.
"You-!! ...What...what do you mean he's not lying...?"
"..." Kratos glared at the being on the floor.
Heh heh...fare...well...
"Woah-!"
There was a burst of black flame as the corpse disappeared, not even leaving ashes.
"H-hey-!!"
"You're wasting your time," Kratos stated simply.
"You...! You get out of my sight! I'm not in the mood to deal with you!!"
"I can help you,"
"Help-? Help with what?" Lloyd glared.
Kratos seemed to consider saying something a moment before he closed his mouth, thought another moment, then began
to speak again.
"I can help your friends trust you," he said.
"Trust me!? They're never going to believe I'm Lloyd-!"
"I can help them trust 'you'," he stated.
Lloyd fell silent.
"...If you don't wish to disclose your identity, yet you still wish to be with them, this is the only way," he stated coolly,
"you're familiar with 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend', correct?"
"...Yeah...?" Lloyd said slowly.
"...GRAVE!"
"W-what the-?!"
Lloyd barely managed to jump back in time to avoid the spell.
"You-!!" Lloyd snarled.
Kratos dashed at Lloyd, sword at the ready as the red-clad warrior drew his own weapons and parried only before the
Seraph was attacking him again with a vigor. Surprisingly, Lloyd found he was actually managing to hold his own, like in
Meltokio he had managed to...
"Here they come," Kratos stated when they crossed swords a final time.
"W-what-?"
"LARTAN?! KRATOS?!"
Kratos leapt back from Lloyd, both of them looking down the path were Lloyd's friends were staring at the scene, shocked.
"W-what's going on...?" Colette whispered.
"Tch," Kratos glared, "I finally find the traitor and you interfere..."
"W-what-?" Lloyd started.
Kratos locked eyes with him, 'go along with it' somehow clear in his stony expression.
"Traitor...?" Genis said.
"You mean to say Lartan is in Cruxis?" Raine hissed.
"Was," Kratos stated, "I was sent to...dispose of him, once he began acting out of Lord Yggdrasill's wishes."
"My my, you seem to have a lot of internal discord..." Raine's eyes narrowed.
"Hmph,"
"Would this also by chance explain his resemblance to you?"
Both Lloyd and Kratos froze.
"You do look quite alike..." she hissed.
"...We're brothers," Kratos said bluntly.
"BROTHERS?!"
Lucky for Lloyd, his shout drowned out with the rest of the groups.
"That explains everything! I KNEW he looked familiar!" Genis exclaimed.
"You're trying to kill your own brother?!" Sheena scoffed. "How low can you go!?"
"Tch," Kratos snorted, then turned to Lloyd, "now if you'll excuse me..."
"ANGEL FEATHERS!"
Kratos dodged an attack he could've easily reflected, Colette having cast her spell.
"Colette..." Lloyd whispered.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend," Regal stated, running forward beside Lloyd.
"R-regal..." Lloyd stammered.
"Yeah!" Sheena joined him.
"How do we know we can trust him?!" Zelos shouted.
"We don't, however..." Raine raised her staff, "he could be a great asset."
Kratos snorted, "For information? Hardly, he doesn't remember any of that now."
"Any of what?"
"Anything that might aid you," Kratos continued, "standard procedure, traitor's memories of crucial information are removed
once found before extermination, in case of a scenario like this."
"Even so..."
"We're not just gonna let you kill him!" Genis shouted.
"Hmph...fine then,"
Kratos sheathed his sword and turned from them.
"H-hey! Where do you think you're-?!"
"The situation has become too risky, I'll have to return at another date."
With that he simply walked off, Lloyd staring after him. BROTHER!? Why the hell would he think up something like-!?
Wait...wait! Kratos just...just helped him. His friends were on his side...and the 'brother' lie...he used that to make them hate
him more and...what was he doing...?
"Are you hurt?" Sheena asked.
"...N-no..." Lloyd trailed.
"You've got a puncture mark on your leg..." Raine said.
"I...had a bit of difficulty with a monster earlier..."
"...It looks like you'll be fine," she stated.
"Are you really Kratos' brother?" Genis asked.
"...I..." Lloyd stammered.
"Genis, I don't believe we have to ask that, the look on his face tells us enough."
"You mean his FACE tells us enough," Zelos said.
"...You're fighting Cruxis," Lloyd said.
He knew this, of course, but...he was supposed to act like he didn't.
"...Yes," Raine admitted.
"...Can I come with you?"
"Eh? You expect us to trust you?" Zelos hissed.
"I hate Cruxis," Lloyd said, for the first time not having to act, "Yggdrasill's an ass, I hate the idea of an age of lifeless beings
and...it's not right to make everyone suffer by keeping the worlds like this!"
The group went wide-eyed somewhat.
"...W-what...?" Lloyd stammered.
"...You sound like a friend of ours..." Raine muttered.
"...Lloyd..." Colette whispered, biting her lip.
"...I..."
"He went missing a few days ago," Genis explained, "...I think you two would get along pretty well, he thinks just like that..."
Lloyd noticed the depressed faces of his friends and felt a jolt to his heart, ...they were never going to see 'Lloyd' again...he
was never going to be 'Lloyd' again... What could he do though...?
"...I'm...I'm sure he's safe," Lloyd said, "he'll probably turn up, I'm sure of it."
"I hope so..." Genis whispered.
"...So," Raine stated, "who's in favor of adding Lartan to our group?"
"NO!" Zelos snapped. "We barely know this guy and he's Kratos' BRO! How the h-?!"
"Kratos' brother whom he almost killed," Regal pointed out.
"That's awful!" Colette cried. "Just think about what he's going through right now, to have your own brother trying to do
such a thing...I'd be so sad..."
"I agree," Sheena said, "that and he obviously isn't a bad fighter seeing how he stood up to Kratos..."
"The addition of Lartan Albane to the group would result in a 200 percent increase in conflict victory," Presea reported.
"That's another thing! If they're brothers, why is his name 'Albane'!?" Zelos scoffed.
"...I made it up," Lloyd said, not a lie, after all...
"I can see why he would change his name..." Regal said slowly.
"So, everyone is for it with the exception of Zelos?" Raine asked.
"Yep, pretty much," Genis said.
"Hey-!!"
"Since Lloyd isn't here to say it, welcome to the group," Genis forced a smile.
"...Thanks," Lloyd smiled weakly.
"Oh come on! This is bull!" Zelos fumed.
"Oh shut up, Zelos!" Sheena snapped.
...Then she went back to gazing longingly at 'Lartan', ticking off the red-head further.
"We're going to keep a close eye on you, however, understand?" Raine glared.
"Y-yeah...don't worry, I won't betray you,"
"...Fine then...I supose I should tell you about our plan..." Raine began to explain.
Lloyd however, was lost in his thoughts.
His brother...?
Yes, yes I know, there's blazing 'plot/drama' in this, but there's not going to be much more. This bit was simply
necessary. This is still going to be a short story (by my standards at least) because I've already got way too damn
many 'plotty' stories...
Colette: So...um...
Me: Of course, Lloyd isn't going to be able to keep his secret for long...X3
Colette: So what about the pacts?
Me: Oh shushy...you'll see...review please? n.n'
Colette:...WAIT! Is Lloyd stuck like this?!
Me:... :3 ...Eee hee hee...
Colette: Oh no...
