[Kratos isn't doing anything particularly interesting as usual, just sitting in the field under the stars with a fuzzy green and mint puppy in his arms. Occasionally, the pup gets a little tired... then perks back up and licks lazily at Kratos' face.]

... four thousand ninety-six... four thousand ninety-seven...

[is out and about, and is happy to see a Kratos. For a moment she thinks he's playing with a little Noishe, but realizes the difference in a moment. She smiles and walks over, probably not realizing he's counting]

Ah, hello!

[cruxified]

[It's okay, he's not particularly invested in it.]

... Greetings, Chosen.

[she kind of kneels down a bit so she can look closer at the CUTE puppy :D]

Are you well Kratos?

[cruxified]

[CUTE PUPPY perks up at Colette being there, and licks her face without asking!]

I am. And yourself?

[apologeticangel.livejournal.com]

[al;gha;lgh yay :D Colette giggles and pets the puppy, obviously enjoying her self]

Yes, although... [she trails off, looking a bit pensive]

[cruxified]

[... Colette... puppy... OTP.]

... Miss Sage. [A statement, not a question.]

[apologeticangel.livejournal.com]

Ah- [she looks down, and starts to pet the puppy's head] yes... She's so sad, and I wish there was something I could do to help.

... Just be yourself. [Iota pants obliviously and watches Colette.] Sooner or later, she'll realize that no one blames her for what happened. She must acknowledge that under her own power.

[apologeticangel.livejournal.com]

You're right. [she smiles a bit, good advice Kratos]

Um, is Yuan feeling better?

[cruxified]

[No one can stay sad when Colette is around. NO ONE. Not even Kratos.]

... A bit.

[A little white lie never hurt anyone.]

[apologeticangel.livejournal.com]

I'm glad. [yes, that was probably a good lie Kratos]

Have you been busy?

[cruxified]

Not particularly. [He canceled training for the next couple of days, so...] ... You should prepare for the kitten soon.
