[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.]

Almost how children try to dodge raindrops.

[cruxified]

You must be quite skilled. I wonder how long I'd last.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

I was the top warrior in my world. [nope, not bragging B| ]

[cruxified]

Were you? I was bested only by Lloyd.

[Lloyd bested everyone.]

At any given time, there are 47 warriors assigned to the different regions of the land. All of us are ranked from strongest to weakest. [and she's going to conveniently not mention how #2 went crazy and killed her.]

I'm sure you know what this means.

[cruxified]

It means... an old knight like me could very well not be worth your time.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

It'd be a friendly spar, of course. [Don't be a party pooper, old man.]

[cruxified]

That doesn't necessarily mean painless, though you'll find my tolerance is higher than most.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

As is mine.

are they flirting? i think they're flirting.

[cruxified]

Then I believe we should spar sometime.

chicks dig puppies, man.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

Whenever you're free.

Perhaps at a less unholy hour. Or can you see in the dark?

It doesn't hinder me. However...

[She nods at his puddle of a puppy. SORRY KRATOS D:]

[cruxified]

Of course. [Said puppy is in puppy heaven right now.] He hasn't been spoiled like this in a while.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

It's a bad habit.

[cruxified]

On the contrary. I think he's losing weight with every twitch.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

Ah, you say that now. Just wait.

[cruxified]

Well, he is a growing creature...

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

He is. And I imagine a large creature jumping on you in the middle of the night for attention will be quite fun.

[cruxified]

I had a giant flaming tiger-wolf during that week. I'm well aware of how it can be.

[looks at him before laughing and shaking her head]

Then I won't need to apologize for your pet's bad habits down the road.

[cruxified]

[Awww, he got Teresa to laugh.] Despite how he seems now, it's possible Iota could be of the same sentience as his predecessor.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

Is that so?

[cruxified]

Yes. He's of the same species, at least by appearances.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

He is unique looking.
