4th Combo - [Video]

[redcladidealist]

[Is this how you call just one person?

...no, it sure isn't. Lloyd hasn't exactly nailed the finer details of using his SFC yet.]

Hey, uh, Yukari?

[So much awkward in just two words. He still remembers exactly what he did when he was cursed, though, and oh man, he just wants to crawl into a hole. Turning a nice shade of red, he rubs the back of his neck.]

Can we... talk? About, you know, when I was a knight and I asked you to try that glass shoe on?

[Okay. There. He's been putting it off for so long, but now he's finally made the call. Now if he can just get his mind off it while he's waiting...

Oh, hey, he can call Zelos. The blush fades in favor of a very shameless grin.

Nope, still no successful filter.]

Zelos! How are you doing? You're not still a unicorn, are you?

Comments

[Lloyd shoots Zelos a defensive, irritated look.]

Hey, I'm smart enough! There's other kinds of smart besides stuff you learn in books. You're asking to learn stuff from me, right?

[chosen_gigolo]

[Instead of pressing his advantage with the teasing, Zelos backs off and smiles at Lloyd.]

You've got a point there. So you'll teach me?♥

[redcladidealist]

[Whoa. Zelos is actually letting him win? That startles Lloyd and completely distracts him away from those previous teasing comments. That and the fact that Zelos seems to be genuinely interested in this.

He smiles, feeling flattered.]

Sure! It's a deal. I'll need to get some things to work with first, but gimme a call when you're ready for your first lesson.

[chosen_gigolo]

Definitely! Maybe after I feel a bit better. [He scratches his neck, feeling a bit of a twinge in his throat too and looking mildly irritated.] Huh. That chicken soup thing isn't a bad idea.

[redcladidealist]

Sure you don't want me to make you some? Dad taught me a really good recipe. I could just drop some off.

[chosen_gigolo]

[Hanging around is one thing but bringing him soup when he's sick is much too close to hunny territory. Besides, Lloyd may be a more capable cook than, say, Raine, but his home-learned dishes tended to be geared more towards a Dwarven palate.]

I've got it covered, but thanks anyway Bud. I couldn't appreciate it with my sense of taste all out of whack from the illness anyway!

[White lies to protect Lloyd's feelings and Zelos' constitution.]

[redcladidealist]

[What, you don't want to try Lloyd's Dwarven Chicken Soup Surprise~?]

Okay, but you're missing out. Let me know if you change your mind.

[chosen_gigolo]

Pretty sure I won't but thanks. I'll letcha know when I'm ready for that lesson!

[redcladidealist]

All right. I hope you feel better soon, Zelos! See you later, all right?

[chosen_gigolo]

Yeah, later man. Keep healthy. I don't wanna have to bring you chicken soup. I'll be soooo~ upset if you keep me from my beauty rest!

[redcladidealist]

Beauty rest? You'd need to sleep for a week.

[He laughs and waves off Zelos's concern.]

I'll be fine. Just go get your rest.

[chosen_gigolo]

Jealousy doesn't suit you, Lloyd~♥ See you later, Bud.

[And with a wink Zelos shuts off the feed to get some rest.]
