Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated

[chosen_gigolo]

[Well look who it is back on the network, Vatheon! None other than Zelos Wilder, looking very much alive but perhaps slightly off. Not upset, not angry, just a little... off.]

Ah, hey there. Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm fine and all and, uh... to anyone who actually saw that broadcast, well. It was just a big misunderstanding, alright? No need to look more into it, just me sticking my foot in my mouth.

So what'd I miss?

Hey, uh. No hard feelings. Let's just try and keep out of each other's hair or I think Zelda's head might explode or something.

[action!]

[He steps fully into the room, coming to a stop in front of Zelos. He is silent and motionless for a moment. Then he slowly raises his hand... and lightly flicks the redhead in the forehead. This likely seems rather out-of-character to Zelos. Who would expect a lineface like Dhaos to do something that's almost...childish.]

...You worried both Zelda and Lloyd. Don't do it again.

[action!]

[chosen_gigolo]

[Normally Zelos would make some acerbic comment, some chiding remake to make Dhaos cringe or sulk away and leave him alone, but... the Seraph has a point. All he seems to do is worry people and make their lives miserable.]

Sure thing.

[Without retaliation, Zelos turns back to the desk on which he has perched his SFC, still dealing with the fallout of his stupid mistake. Seems like he's always doing that.]

[so much action!]

[fistfullofmagic]

[Dhaos' eyes narrow ever so slightly. You can't fool Dhaos with that nonchalant mask Zelos, he's used to reading the emotions of people like Kratos.]

I mean it Zelos. Don't do something to foolishly endanger yourself again. I will not hesitate to take measures against you if you do otherwise.

[Totally actiontastic!]

[chosen_gigolo]

[That just earns Dhaos a sigh from Zelos.]

I know, alright? You've known them for like five minutes how the hell do you think I feel?!

[Er.. he hadn't meant to say that. Try again.]

You got your point across, no need to hammer it in.

[It's the actioniest!]

[fistfullofmagic]

.....

[Dhaos sighs, but backs off.]

I hope so. I would hate to find my warning ignored yet again.

[Action like a Bruce Willis film~]

[chosen_gigolo]

[Damnit, who the hell does this guy think he is? Giving him ultimatums when he'd only been here for, what, maybe a month? Bastard.

But he does have a point and Zelos is too tired to fight about it. Honestly he's just plain too tired, though he knows there are others that still want his attention. But it's fine. They can have it. He'll appease each and every one of them. He doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, of course. He doesn't want anyone else crying because of him.

Again he turns back to his SFC, wordlessly telling Dhaos they're done here.]

[Dhaos takes the hint and quietly exits the room. Perhaps the ultimatum was a bit much, but he really has no idea how else he could have put it. Not that it really mattered; it's in his nature to go all or nothing when protecting someone or something he cares about.]
