XI

[wilder]

[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]

[aaaaaaand she can see that]

N-No, here too!

[wilder]

Hmm?

[He looks over at Colette, curiously. Did she mean her and Lloyd or what...?]

[selfless]

Your friend Katara.... Lloyd and I, and I'm sure other people who I haven't met.

And then you'll keep meeting more people! [aaaand she giggles sheepishly as she realizes that she's kind of... rambling without direction] I'm sorry, I don't know exactly what I'm trying to say...

[wilder]

[You're so nice, Colette. Kinda naive, but so nice. ]

It's okay, I'm getting what you mean. I'll make friends.

[Somehow...Subject change!]

Are you still hungry?

[selfless]

[she nods! whew] I'm glad! And if you'd like, I can introduce you to some of my other friends too, I'm sure they'd be excited to meet you.

Oh, yes! I almost forgot again...

[wilder]

Who wouldn't be? If they're your friends, I'm sure I'd like them. [Maybe. You tend to make friends with EVERYONE]

[He laughs] Never change, darling Angel. I'll grab it.

[selfless]

[ahaha, SHE JUST HAS A LOT OF LOVE FOR EVERYONE, OKAY. Anyway, she'll make plans for that later]

Okay, I'll get plates and utensils!

[wilder]

[YES HE IS VERY PAINFULLY AWARE OF THAT. Though he'd never want her to change despite frustrations. ]

Okay~! ♥

[He jumps up from his chair and seems to be about to go into the kitchen, but he stops and reaches over to give Colette an affectionate headpat with a grin]

[selfless]

[a-aw.... she looks up at him.... a little confused, but she giggles and smiiiiles]

Thank you!

[wilder]

[he chuckles before pulling away]

Man you really have stayed just as cute as ever~!

[selfless]

[asdgha;sdgh and that comment actually makes her look a bit embarrassed]

Ah... I hoped that I'd grown up a bit while I was here. [you know... become more chosen-like]

[wilder]

[Honey to him being chosen-like is being like you. They might need to work on wtf being chosen is supposed to be]

Hmmm.

[He reaches out his hand over her head again, then moves it evenly back towards himself - measuring her height]

Well afraid you haven't grown any taller, anyway. [In fact now that he thinks about it...hasn't it been 3 years? Why do you still look 16? Is this the Cruxis Crystal's doing? If so, that's...not good. ]

[selfless]

[haha, it would certainly be an interesting thing to talk about. aaaaah yeah, she nods glumly when he points out her height]

Yes, no one grows here. I think a friend of mine has had four birthdays while he's been here, but he looks exactly like he did when he arrived.

But, I guess it's a good thing too. It would be really confusing to come here and find that someone is a lot older!

[wilder]

Really? [He scrunches his nose a bit, but shrugs it off. Kinda creepy, but better than what he was thinking] Weird, but you're right! The castle knows it best to preserve youthful beauty so I can't complain too much!

Well, except that I'd like to see what a gorgeous lady you'll be all grown up! ♥

[selfless]

[yeah... she's kind of stressed out about it too. But she figures there's no sense in worrying about something that she can't be sure of until she gets home]

I-I'd like to grow up too! [so.... she can grow boobs, BUT SHE'S NOT GOING TO SAY THAT, haha] I might not get any taller still, but I hope so!

[wilder]

[They must be the first Chosens worried about living too long. He just plans to measure Presea and Colette eeevery time he sees them, since they'd show signs before him]

As I always say- whatever will be, will be. But I'd say I got a good feeling about it!
