[ Shortly after Mithos's (rather one-sided) "fight" against Zelos, Mithos hadn't been seen again for almost a month. That's a long time for almost anyone else, but for someone immortal, it might as well be one day. Finally, however, Mithos' frequency begins picking up signals on the starfish, obviously coming from his room, but it's just... pointing at the ceiling, as if it was left on accidentally. Occasionally, the sound of something 'knocking' can be heard, but it's otherwise really quiet. If you're staring at the screen though, you might notice a flash of blonde hair every now and then. He's obviously in there... in case anyone wants to talk to him. Or force their way into his apartment to talk to him, as the case may be.

I'm looking at you, Kratos. ]

Private Text Message to Colette
[ But there is a text message sent to Colette's starfish. ]

Can we talk? It's important. - Mithos

[ Not a lot to go on, is it? ]

[ He quiets down a bit, leaning back against his wall, his feet sticking out over the side of his bed. ]

... Alright.

[ Another deep, heavy, sigh, and he closes his eyes. ]

I'll trust your judgment on this, Kratos. I just hope I don't regret it later.

[ And then he opens his eyes, his tone accusatory. ]

And you better hope I don't, either.

[Throwing his lot in with Zelos... what a terrible fate.]

I'll have to hope he doesn't choose to waste his time philandering, then.

[His tone is as light as it ever gets - which is to say, not particularly. The attempt at a joke is mostly to mask the fear he feels that Mithos has found out exactly what happened back in Aselia. Thankfully, Kratos is quite good at hiding his emotions.]

I will tell you if he knows anything useful.

[Since Mithos is in a mood, Kratos waits to be dismissed.]

[ He doesn't laugh. But at the same time, no one told him what happened with Origin; Mithos mostly assumed he lost the Eternal Sword because he died, not the other way around. ]

Thank you.

[ There. Consider that your dismissal. ]
