[He's quiet at that for a bit of time. It's...comforting to hear those sorts of words, even if he's not sure he agrees with them. Sure. He tries to do right. Even more so now that he's got to see first hand the consequences his decisions had sown. But...enough to be a good person? He wasn't as sure about that. Not when bad stuff just seem to keep happening with him around.]
[But he eases up a little, especially after that last part, letting out a little sigh]
I really don't know what the answer is, with that whole if I'm the same person or not issue. It even hurts my head if I think about it too much.
[He'll look up to meet Lloyd's eyes.]
But...thanks. I dunno if I fully agree, but...well, at least I'm trying not to screw up as much as I did before.
[He shakes his head.]
Anyway, that's all I wanted to tell you. [At least, it's good enough for now] Even if you aren't the Lloyd I knew, I... Well, I felt you had a right to hear it from me.
[ he really does. hearing that Kaneis died in a separate timeline was definitely the last thing he wanted to hear, but he appreciates the fact that he actually trusted him enough with this information. the details on his death are still up in the air — what happened, how did it happen, who or what was responsible for taking his life — but Lloyd would gladly wait for him to be ready to reveal the details behind his death.
he steels himself from cringing at the thought. it was still a bitter pill to swallow, and Lloyd only suspected that it would remain that way for a good long while. ]
I bet it probably took a lot for you to admit this.
[If Kaneis had his way? Lloyd would be waiting on those details for the rest of eternity. He doesn't want this guy to know. Not after he already blamed himself just for Kaneis being dead. He's pretty sure there'd be no way to convince him that it wasn't his fault if he knew the full details]
[No. Some things are better left unsaid.]
[But ugh. Don't say nice things like that. He'll pointedly avoid Lloyd's gaze]
Yeah, well you know...[He tries to shrug it off] Whatever. It'd come out sooner or later.
Action - 12/30
