paradisa | XXXIV

[Private]

[Zelos with Arya and Dany, even without the TARDIS, managed to beat the rest of the group in getting back. Thank goodness for little girls who really want to see their mother? Either way, after dropping the kid off, Zelos headed back to the house in the city.]

Wow, being 23 sure feels just like being 22-

Oh wait. I know why! Stupid castle.

Whatever, at least from now on I can make sure never to eat horse jerky ever again.

[a pause]

Okay, I should probably get stuff over with. [a sigh]

...Some stuff anyway. Squirt can hang in there until the others get back.

[Lloyd]

Since I'm sure you're losing sleep over missing the great and wondrous me, I thought I'd throw you a bone and let you know we got back safe and sound. You know, since I have such a kind heart and all.

[a beat]

Oh, and you forgot my birthday. ♥

[Never mind he didn't even TELL you when it was 8D;;; ]

[Uru]

As promised, darling, I'm back safe and sound.

The others should be getting back a couple days from now.

Did you miss me?

[Spike]

Yo lil bro!

[Galadriel]

Hey---

[And then he promptly chickens out. He had been contemplating asking for advice about things that have been pestering him for awhile and Galadriel seemed like a good choice...buuuut now he's remembering he has absolutely no idea HOW to ask for advice and therefore it's better not to]

-- Actually you know what? Never mind. Sorry to bother you!

[He's quiet a moment, there's a small loyal part of him that doesn't want to drop Arya into trouble. Even IF she hurt him, upset him, made him mad]

...She said a horrible thing.

[oh don't worry, you're both in trouble in his book. You can serve time together]

What was it?

[Oh joy]

She said she hoped the ponies would have their throats torn out by zombies.

[He says it quickly, in one breath, like trying to pull off a bandaid quickly to minimise the pain]

[oh baby. Honestly he already read that part, but he'll pause]

Okay, that's pretty bad.

What do you think made her say that?

Edited 2012-09-10 00:44 (UTC)

I was practising with the sword and she got mad when I said it was hard.

[This...is gonna take awhile]

And why do you think that made her mad?

Edited 2012-09-10 01:10 (UTC)

I don't know. Because she's always mad.

Hey, you're gonna have to think a little deeper than that.

Why was she mad?

Edited 2012-09-10 01:50 (UTC)

[A little irritated:] Okay, fine. Because her world is mean and harsh and she won't accept that not all worlds are like that.

And you think she should...just accept that?

Edited 2012-09-10 17:07 (UTC)

No, but at the same time, she can't tell me my world is stupid and my friends deserve to... to die just because we do things differently. That's not fair.

No, she can't. That was definitely wrong of her to say and I'm not gonna let her get away with that kind of attitude. [Threats on innocents is NOT cool and he's not going to tolerate a student that thinks that way.]

But that doesn't mean you get off scot-free either.

[And now we're going to be a brat. Oh yes]

What for? I didn't do anything!

Spike. The reason I'm back early is because Arya was so upset from the fight that she insisted on going back to the castle to be with her mother. So I had to go along with her to make sure she made it back safely.

And all this? Was on my birthday, no less. [The first birthday that he actually had to himself too, but he'll neglect to mention that because Spike would never stop feeling guilty otherwise]

You sure you wanna play the innocent card here?

It was your birthday? Oh gosh, Zelos, I'm really sorry.

[Then. Quietly] She said her family are dead. Back home. Is that why she was so upset?

[a shrug] Not like you knew. She didn't either.

That does tend to upset people, yeah. [Though his tone lacks the usual snark. Since uh, yeah, he knows that one]

Do you want me to bake you a cake to make up for it? [Whatever you say he's going to bake one anyway]

I didn't mean to upset her. [Even after the whole I HOPE YOUR FAMILY DIE thing]

...Huh? Why would you make a cake? [PERPLEXED]

I know you didn't, but you still did.

...Because that's what you have on your birthday.

Am I going to be punished? [That tone is so uncertain, he doesn't generally GET punished. A Twilight Lecture is usually enough]

You do? [THIS IS BRAND NEW INFORMATION]

I dunno. Do you think you should be punished?

Of course you do! And you have a party, and presents! And all your friends around. You've seriously never had a birthday cake?

[Paaaause] Is that a trick question?

Hmmm, nope.

Why would I tell you if it was?

Then you need an extra big one!

...You're being confusing Zeloooosssss.

Ahaha, pretty sure I couldn't eat a whole extra big one, but thanks.

It's a simple question! I'm not gonna ship you off to the Dead Zone if I don't like what I hear!

Edited 2012-09-10 21:31 (UTC)

That's why you have a party with friends, so everypony has some.

I don't know, Twilight usually just lectures me if I've done something bad.

Spike
