[Backdated to this morning]

[After this discussion? Zelos is heading straight to the house, since he can guess that's the most likely spot for Colette to be. ]

[Stepping inside, he instantly starts kicking off the snow from his boots on the doormat. Ugh how much longer is winter supposed to last anyway?]

Yo! Colette! You in?

Comments

[selfless]

[wait, no... If Joshua had threatened him or done anything, Zelos wouldn't be so casual right now, right? It was probably nothing! And hopefully nothing more would happen]

O-Oh! Did... um, I see! Thank you for telling me, I'll make sure to go see him right away.

[wilder]

[Colette do you need to review the basic concept that Zelos is a liar? The expression Colette gave was...he drops the smile. ]

Yeah, sure.

Who is this guy?

[selfless]

He's... [what is this, why is Zelos looking serious, what happened sdgkhasdgahsd she kind of... pauses mid-sentence, just searching his face, trying to figure out if anything happened]

He's a friend.

[wilder]

Yeah, he said he knew you intimately.

[a shrug] Kinda weird way to phrase it, if you ask me. I mean Lloyd and you never mentioned anything about him and...well, least face it- all the snow in Flanoir would melt before you started acting like me that way. [aka sleeping around]

[selfless]

[oH MYG GOD, ZELOS WHY WOULD THAT BE YOUR FIRST THOUGHT. when Colette hears intimate she thinks family so his meaning like.... goes whistling over her head. SO HAVE A VERY CONFUSED COLETTE.... at least she figures out he's talking about dating or something, ide]

N-No, we're not dating, o-or anything like that! He... we've just known each other for a really long time.

1/2

[wilder]

[BECAUSE HE'S ZELOS WILDER, THAT'S WHY. But seriously, just what is going on here? Colette's the one that loves to talk about her friends and how they skip through flower fields and how wonderful they all are- okay maybe his cynical mind is exaggerating a LITTLE but still. And really with how she's reacting to just the mention of Joshua didn't seem much with the friendly. ]

[Something was up.]

[wilder]

[But he'll just smile and shrug, like the serious expression was never there. Almost as if it was on purpose to see how she'd react...]

Right, I can see that with how long you've been here.

Anyway, he's kinda stuck in a room right now with Katara and he mentioned wanting to see you.

[selfless]

Y-Yes, exactly.

[Colette is not convinced.... not convinced at all that Zelos isn't suspicious. But if she's lucky... maybe Zelos and Joshua won't run into each other again? And maybe then he doesn't have to learn about everything that happened concerning Joshua, and things can remain peaceful]

Stuck? Oh no... why? Does it have to do with the castle?

[wilder]

[When are you ever lucky Colette?]

Think so! They couldn't even bust down the door - just open it a crack. Both of them seemed pretty unhappy about it, but who could blame them?

[selfless]

[sldghas and that gives her a sense of urgency. She doesn't know Katara well, but she seemed really nice when they talked! But... she still wants to check and make sure that everything is okay. She looks thoughtful then nods]

Um, I think I'll go check and make sure that everything is okay. Do you want to wait here? I'm sorry the lunch will have to wait for a little...

[because if Joshua knows that he's her friend, then there's a possibility of trolling, and that is the worst way for people to meet Joshua... she has learned this with Adachi sdgha]

[wilder]

[Interesting...]

Yeah, I don't mind. I kinda wanna shower anyway.

[And you know, stalk with the journal to see what he can gleam from that.]

[selfless]

[darn it kdlsghsadghasg.... Lloyd never thought to do that, you're a cheater Zelos]

Okay! Then I'll see you soon. [and she's hurrying to put on her coat and boots to head over]

[wilder]

[A list of simple but smart ideas Lloyd didn't think of would fill endless books, man. Zelos would almost be offended to be compared to that guy's thinking capabilities if it wasn't for the fact he's his BFF]

Yep! I'll be here waiting~ ♥

[selfless]

[and she waaaaaaaaves and takes off. SHOULD WE CONTINUE THIS THREAD AFTER I THREAD WITH JESSE? Or we could just keep threading now, I'm good either way since I'm guessing it's going to be a chill thread :D

DOEST THOU YUFF HAVE ANY PREFERENCES?]

[wilder]

[I'M GOOD WITH WHATEVER YOU PREFER MY DARLING ♥ Zelos will be ready and waiting with more questions whenever she gets back]

[selfless]

[OKOK, a while later, Colette will be heading back inside! After dusting snow off she calls out to the house]

Zelos? I'm back!

[wilder]

[He meanwhile had taken a shower, made sure the pot pie wouldn't burn or freeze and now was sitting in the dining room with the journal out. Hearing some Zuko guy yell in the journal that Joshua's evil sure was interesting, but he didn't get anything else too solid. When he hears Colette coming into the house, he shuts the journal and shoves it back into his pocket before she calls out. He sits with his feet up on another chair, though still fairly straight. When he replies, it's at regular Zelos loud volume - he knows she can hear him why ruin his beautiful voice by making it hoarse?]

Welcome back, my darling angel~! ♥ I'm in the dining room.

[He's also far too lazy to get up from his spot- it's comfortable okay]

[selfless]

Alright. [lala, puts her shoes away and hangs up her coat like boss~ and then she waaaaves when she sees him..... kinda testing the waters]

Were you bored? I'm sorry I took so long...

[wilder]

[he grins and waves back]

Nah, it was fine, I read the journal. Turned down the oven too so the pot pie didn't burn.

[selfless]

Oh! Thank you, I can't believe I forgot that... [sadhgalsdgh /embarrassed]

[wilder]

Don't worry about it! Zelos was here, savior of damsels and meals alike!

Your friend okay?

[selfless]

[hehe, that makes her giggle. And then she nods at the second question, looking less jumpy than before]

Mm hm! I didn't get to talk to Katara, but Joshua seemed to be in a good mood.

[wilder]

That's good. Ice Princess's a sweet girl, but I'm not sure I want to imagine what it's gonna be like- stuck in a room with her for a week.

[selfless]

[hehe] I think it would be strange to be stuck with most people for a week. But, hopefully...

I think it's going to be okay.

[wilder]

Course it is! We'll keep checking on them too, to make sure they don't get too bored or anything. I'd like to get the chance to know some of your friends here more anyway!
