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?



[Filtered to Duke]

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.

Ah right. Thank you for reminding me. [ She should go touch it later this evening. ]

The flowers really are pretty ... Would you like one Zelos? I picked little more than I should this morning.

Isn't it a little backwards for the girl to give the guy flowers?

[He'd normally accept graciously but.. really he doesn't want to talk to anyone in person, as strange as that is for him. He hides it very well, though.]

Oh. I don't think it is. Besides, you helped me out before, I think it's right to give you a gift.

[ She gives him an innocent smile. Only if she knew what was going on huh? ]

Well... My roses did wilt while I was gone, maybe it would be nice. [He smiles again.] Thanks Fuuka-hunny.

... It's nothing.

[ ... There it is again. She can't quite put her finger on it, but it seems like he's different somehow. ]

I can give them to you later. You seem bit, tired.

[He nearly protests, not liking being called out on such things, but she is right and really... what's the use in arguing?]

Yeah, sorry, just a lot of stuff going on, y'know? I'll take a rain check, okay?

[ Zelos really didn't look like the reckless type ... So she'll trust his words. ]

Okay. Just don't overdo it Zelos.

[Reckless... well, not usually. He does have his moments, though...]

Sure thing, Fuuka-chan~ I can't let you worry about me, now can I?♥

[angelicvoice]

That's right! It wouldn't be very gentleman of you.

[ Despite the chiding tone, she gives him a small smile. ]

Rest up. And I'll talk to you later.

Thanks for understanding, Hunny. I'll talk to you later.

[With another smile and a tired wink, he turns off the feed.

Only then does he slump back in his chair with a heavy sigh. How could even just that much take so much out of him?]
