Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I don't think he likes me all that much." Lloyd said sadly. He rubbed his hand down his face. "Well, I doubt he'll come with me alone. Your going to see Noishe too, right?" He asked Sheena. "She's right outside the village."

"Allright. We still have some time before the speech thing. Lets go." He smiled. Red red red.... .

As they arrived outside the village, Lloyd stopped and smiled at his surroundings. "Noishe! It's me, Lloyd!" He cried int the wilderness. At first, nothing happened.

"Arooooo!!!"

A loud howling noise shook from behind a nearby tree, and pounced untop of Lloyd. "Noishe! Cut it out! Hey!" The boy clad in red persisted as the gigantic animal pinned him down with he powerful legs, but only for son long, as it saw Sheena.

"Whine!" It leaped off Lloyd and came slowly towards Sheena, looking like she had dinner in her hand, and she was withelding it unless the little puppy was good.

Noishe walked over and nuzzled Sheena lovingly. The protazoan loved and remembered all from thier journey. "Whine!" It cried. It started to sniff Ichigo a little.

Lloyd crawled up. "That dog..." He said, dusting himself off. "Wouldn't hurt a fly... unless on acciedent, of course."

"I call it a dog though..." Lloyd said. "Gesh... a little viper." He frowned, commenting about Ichigo, but not loud enough for any of them to hear him. "Yeah, the Rhearids were fun, but everytime wewent to Flanoir, Noishe couldn't come with us because he was just too bulky. I can't remember how we got him to Tethe'alla in the first place." He admitted.

"Ah, I miss those days." Lloyd admitted. "The whole monsters and life in danger every second wasn't something I'd like to return to, but... All of us together, a real companionship, you know?" he said. Lloyd walked over to the side of Noishe and dropped a pack he had around Noishe. Pulling out a smallsack, he looked inside it. "Ah. Good. The outfit's still intact." He smiled, before slinging it over his shoulder.

Lloyd sharply glanced at her apprentice. "Bet you wish she succeeded, huh?" He said before turning back to Sheena. "I'm exactly the same. Ogre slaying keeps the body fit." He smiled and hung his head to one side, letting on arm go limp on the sides of his sword-hilts. "I don't have many exspheres to locate now. The fact Raine blew up all the Ranches made quick work of any exspheres they had left. I made sure the Iselia ranch blew up, and destroyed the reacters in each of the rest." He crossed his arms and closed his eyes. "I'm heading to the Tower of Mana ruins next, after Luin." He opened one eye. "You two can come with, if you don't mind doing a little digging." He smiled.

"Besides, I hear Raine was in the area recently, and where else would our ruin lover go? She didn't get much chances to excevate when we were thier before." Lloyd finished.

Lloyd blinked. "I thought Being in Mizuho itself is an adventure. One of the kids there jumped me once. Landed on my back and took me out when we stayed there one night. I don't know how you sleep there..." He admitted, shaking his head. He only spoke of it once Ichigo was out of hearing range, though. "Well, Before you do... check with Mizuho as a group. They can't just lose thier leader for a little while." he looked around for a moment. "And you may want to bring your cards. Wyverns are still stalking the area."
