Want to look for a place in town later? I found a job, so now it's just a matter of saving up and moving.

[It'd also be a good distraction from Joshua-related things.]

We can have lunch, too. I dunno if you've done much with the baking club yet, but I'll test-run anything. [He's so grinning at that.]

Hey, it's been a while. How are you holding up?

[Lloyd stifles a yawn.]

Would anyone be interested in custom-made furniture or anything like that? I can make smaller objects, like jewelry or keepsake boxes. My dad taught me how to make weapons and armor, but I'm nowhere near as good as he is. Plus, I have no idea where to find a forge...

Materials aren't really an issue, so let me know if you have any ideas.

[For Lloyd, killing someone isn't a last resort. It's not even an option. Lives are precious, and no one has the right to decide when one should end. As long as someone still breathes, they can change. What's the point of executing someone in a world that brings them back, anyway?

It's the horns that's doing it, not Joshua himself. That much is clear.]

Yeah.

[It's more than an affirmation, it's a promise. He smiles down at her, then looks away. He's apparently forgotten that they're holding hands.]

Thanks for telling me all of this.

[she's partly aware of it, in the way that she knows she doesn't want to let go of his hand. That support, the warmth in his voice, and then his smile. She's missed it all so much.... she smiles back]

N-No... I'm sorry I kept it from you for so long.

[she shouldn't have fretted over him like that, decided what was best for Lloyd without even giving him a chance. She feels silly, but now she's just in this state of calm... happy relief]

Thank you for listening to me.

[gentleidealist]

[That looks a lot better than her hesitant sadness. He hates seeing anyone suffer, especially Colette, and...]

You don't have to thank me for listening. [Only now does he realize he's holding her hand, as he was about to ruffle her hair or something. He freezes for a moment, fingers still twined with hers.]

Um...

[He kind of doesn't want to let go.]

... Is this okay?

[apologeticangel.livejournal.com]

[she looks at him curiously, not sure what he's saying 'um' about. But then when she follows his gaze, and then sees him blushing a bit... WELL THAT PRETTY MUCH MAKES HER BLUSH TOO ASDGHASDGHA. And she... has the same thought as well. She doesn't want to let go either]

Oh! Y-Yes... [she tries to make it out that she's not blushing by smiling asdghlsdgh WHY ARE THEY THE MOST DORKY AWKARD]

It's okay.

[gentleidealist]

[Because they are. They've held hands before, but... it just feels different somehow. Just a little. It's enough to make him scratch the back of his head awkwardly and look away, but of course he's still holding her hand.]

So, um, you had a place in mind?

[apologeticangel.livejournal.com]

[she can nearly feel his awkwardness, and it's enough to make her a bit pink in the face. But she feels happy all the same, so she answers without any stuttering or weird pauses, haha]

Yes! I think we're almost there. [she looks ahead and points down one of the roads ahead with her free hand] It's that way.

[gentleidealist]

Phew. I'm so hungry I think I could eat a dragon by myself.

[And no one was surprised.]

[apologeticangel.livejournal.com]

[she giggles at that] I'm sure you'll enjoy it, they make really good food!

[and then there's a pause as she looks around at the buildings, then back at Lloyd] I'm really exciting to live out here.
