- 73 [Action]

[Anyone passing by house #8 today will see an old man sitting in a nice wooden rocking chair, situated on the porch. He seems to be enjoying the weather. There may be clouds overhead, but it's still a nice temperature. His cane is leaning against the wall next to him. Anyone familiar with Yuan will recognize him, as it's hard to mistake that bright blue hair. It may have a few grey streaks, but aside from that it's barely changed.

Is he... sleeping? Sure looks like it. Then again, he may just be faking it.]

[He scoffs at that.]

You must be from a pretty damned early timeline, then. I stopped following Yggdrasill's orders long before Cruxis fell.

I would not consider it "early". As I recall, you yourself patronized me for looking for my son.

[fortunefail]

Looking for your son? You gave up before I even had a chance to patronize you. In fact, if it weren't for me, Lloyd never would've found out.

[Kratos, you'd better shut him up before he tells you even more things you don't want to hear.]

[He was referring to his journal entry, really, but this just makes him frown and tense up.]

... Enough. I've heard enough of these alternate timelines.

[fortunefail]

[You can't blame Yuan for misunderstanding that one. Kratos has searched for Lloyd quite a few times.]

Alternate?

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

I never abandoned him. I never thought him dead. I raised him and cared for him for all of his seventeen years... I will not hear of implications otherwise!

[fortunefail]

[And then it clicks.]

Oh, really? That's what you believe?

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

That's what I know.

[fortunefail]

Then we'll see who of us is wrong when the experiment ends.

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

[And he'll turn and walk away... right across Yuan's lawn again.]

[fortunefail]

I told you to stay off my lawn! Just because you're from an alternate timeline doesn't mean you have the right to be a jackass! ... And I'll still want that apology when you come to your senses!
