† lost and insecure, you found me

[cruxified]

[Kratos looks less than talkative when he finally appears on the Plane-- that is, darker than usual. His recent discovery has shattered him in a way he isn't prepared for, but he has to keep going. At any cost. Can he really separate his heart from his duty?

He senses people in the vicinity and slips his locket back into his collar, gloved hands falling back to his sides. This doesn't change anything. The Chosen must be led to the Tower of Salvation. And Lloyd...

Lloyd...

He unsheathes his sword in one swift motion, then practices a few slashes and jabs with a military sort of discipline.]

[ooc: Kratos was also canonbumped to the night before they leave on the journey. :3 Fate is trolling Kratos, as per usual.]

[After he's finished practicing Soaring Light Spear, he puts the sword away and glances at Mu.

... ] Greetings.

[Doesn't look like anyone he knows. It could be someone on an experiment, but... a child is a child.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Hullo, mister. You're good at that!

[cruxified]

I've trained for most of my life. [He approaches Mu slowly and carefully. Though his eyes are a deep red, they are strangely warm.] Are you lost?

[lamb_of_gold]

[He shakes his head] Nuh uh, I'm not lost.

[cruxified]

Still, you shouldn't be alone. What is your name?

[He shouldn't be doing this. He shouldn't, but--]

[lamb_of_gold]

Mu, sir. 'M okay by myself.

[cruxified]

Certainly something to be proud of. But don't you have friends?

[lamb_of_gold]

Dunno where they are!

[cruxified]

They may be waiting for you at home.

[lamb_of_gold]

[He shakes his head] Already looked there.
