[Ugh, damnit, why does he still have to be stuck at Kratos's house instead of back in his own apartment?
Stuck. No way. So it'll hurt, big deal. With a wince and a soft hiss, Lloyd slides out of his bed, then decides not to worry about shoes. Bending down to get them and put them on would be pushing his still-mending ribs too far. Besides, if Kratos is in the house, he'll need to be extra quiet sneaking out.
But first...
He picks up his Dreamberry.]
Genis? You... you okay?
[That had been a very disturbing dream, and he'd only had to watch from the other side.]

[ Because he's too tired to crawl over there and turn off the 'berry altogether. But eventually...the bedsheet moves and he narrows his eyes at the camera. ]
Of course I didn't mean to...dream that. Why would I want to do that? You're my best friend after all.
[ Genis is used to the Look. He's also used to ignoring it quite a bit. ]
Y-You know I'd never do that, right? [ A pause. ] I don't think I like the thought of that very much. [ He isn't sure what to expect from Lloyd's dreams after all. But he was pretty sure they'd probably be much nicer than this one. ]
Uh huh. [ He doesn't believe you one bit, Lloyd. ] Why would you bring your dreamberry to the bathroom?!
[No, seriously, see? He's going in the bathroom now. Totally his intention all along.]
Of course I know that. You're my best friend. [As far as Lloyd is concerned, it's as simple as that.] But I don't know if there's a way to keep people from seeing your dreams, so you kind of get used to it.
...kind of. [Never completely, though.]
[Dreamberry etiquette is kind of lost on him, though. He leans against a wall, feeling a little winded.]
[ Genis isn't paying attention to the changing background and pays more attention to the fact that even if Fishface doesn't believe him when he says that the dream wasn't a subconscious message. But Lloyd did. All's good with that right? Right. ]
I'm sure if there was a way. Everyone would be using it by now. [ A pause. ] Can you try to be a little more reassuring, Lloyd?
[ Genis frowns a little. ] Are you sure you shouldn't have stayed in bed? I'm sure...he wouldn't have minded helping you out of bed. [ The winded looking for just walking down the hallway is not convincing him of anything, Lloyd. ]

Yeah... Hey, I thought I was being reassuring. [He takes a few breaths, keeping them shallow to avoid expanding his rib cage too much. He wishes he could take a deep lungful, but it hurts enough as it is.]
Ugh, I'm not going to ask Kratos for help just to use the bathroom. Hang on.
[He fiddles with the Dreamberry for a moment, then the video suddenly cuts off. Not the audio, though.]
[And it really isn't that far, at least compared with what he's planning. Oh, hey, having the video turned off makes it pretty convenient to slip out of the bathroom without Genis realizing what he's doing.]
H-hey, who said anything about escaping?
[He's not escaping. He's just going to visit his friend. B|]
But you had to stop to catch your breath. Obviously you can't handle it that much.
[ ...Genis knows you, Lloyd. He's like your Jimeny Cricket without...actually being a cricket. He glares at the 'berry from where he was sitting before just trying not to yank his hair out in frustration. ]
[He is such a bad liar, but if he never actually gets around to lying, he should be okay, right?
Though he is a little exasperated.]
Catching my breath doesn't mean I need help. It just means I needed a break. I'm fine. Now, shhh. Don't say anything for a minute. I, uh, need to concentrate.
[He needs to not get caught by Kratos's keen ears.]

I-I'm sorry, Lloyd. [ He didn't even know what he was apologizing for. It was just a dream. ]

You dork. Don't apologize for your dreams. You didn't mean to dream it, right?
[Quietly, carefully opening the door to his bedroom now.]

[ He sees you over thar, Lloyd. ]

And it's not your fault I saw your dream. It's this place. If it makes you feel any better, you'll probably see mine, too.
Reply
Huh? Oh, uh... I was just going to the bathroom!
[See? He's heading for that door right now so he isn't technically lying.]
Hey, stop looking. You don't need to watch.

Why wouldn't I? I want to keep talking to you.

There. Is that better?

Just to walk you there. You shouldn't be walking around while you're still healing, Lloyd. It'll just make it worse.
[ Worried!friend worries. Especially when it comes to Lloyd. You do have the habit of digging yourself in a super deep hole after all. ]
Ye--NO! Lloyd...you better not be trying to escape. [ :| He'll legit tell on you. ]

[ He doesn't believe you at all, Lloyd. You're talking to someone who knows how you work. :| ]
You needed a break walking down the hallway? Why do I need to be quiet? Is it because you don't want Kratos to know you're leaving?
[ ...He's not shutting up any time soon. ]
