I'm alive awake alert enthusiastic ♫

[Guess who's awake! Seems like he's not the only one, either.]

So, uh, guess it was my turn for one of those coma nap things. Seems like I missed some crazy shit this past week, what with the coral freaking out. Anything else going on I should know about?

And for all my hunnies, I hope you weren't too worried♥ The Great Zelos Wilder is just fine~

You okay man? I was kind of out of it already the last time we talked.

[Filtered to Kratos]
Stay the fuck out of my house!

[Filtered to Ky]
You are the neediest little SOB I've ever met. It's like you want in my pants or something, geeze.

[His expression softens as he watches Zelos's anger deflate, replaced with the same helplessness that he's feeling right now. Out of some odd sort of respect, he closes his eyes and lowers his head, no longer looking directly at the Chosen.]

I hope that is the case as well. Mithos is willing to consider germinating the tree now, but he still seems intent on creating an age of lifeless beings. It was pointed out to me that even if he is defeated, the Desians and angels would still carry on with that in his stead. Perhaps I should take them all to Derris-Kharlan and...

[And what? Kill them all? Send the damn comet into the sun? No, it's not their fault. He'll watch over them, try to teach them to live. Those poor bastards, being taught to live by a man that would rather be dead.]

...I suppose that does not matter in this place.

[Yep, they're fucked.]

Pretty much not, but...

[It's odd, knowing more than Kratos. Usually they're on the same page and just interpret everything drastically differently, but Zelos is from further along in their timeline, he knows that Kratos ultimately did exactly that, resulting in.. well, people like Dhaos. That odd mix of fierce loyalty and pragmatism Dhaos has displayed has Kratos written all over it.

Ugh, what happened? He'd rather be angry. Angry he can handle, angry he can process. Speaking civilly with Kratos of all people is throwing the world out of balance as far as he's concerned.]

Well, just keep your little master in check and we'll manage. I'll watch over Lloyd.

[His tone is dark, defying Kratos to argue that Lloyd isn't safe with him.]

[It's hard to leave Lloyd to someone else. It's so hard. Kratos looks pained for a moment, looking to the side before lowering his head.]

Very well.

[Quietly, he reaches out to turn off the feed.]

[He'd... really expected more of a fight, at least over Lloyd's safety. Somehow, Kratos's unargued agreement makes him want to try harder. Not that he wouldn't have kept watch over Lloyd regardless, but...

He doesn't want to think about the why too much. If he at all admits that he has something to prove to Kratos of all people, he may as well just roll over and go back to sleep for another week.

Still, Zelos has always been exceptionally good at reading people and while Kratos's stoicism has oftentimes messed with his ability, he can tell the man loves his son, whether the Seraph deserves to or not thanks to his previous actions.

And that base feeling, at least, Zelos can respect.

He lets Kratos turn off the feed without any needling last word.]
