Well, that had been a rather strange conversation. He wasn't sure what to make of it exactly, but he was getting cookies out of it, so he wasn't complaining or anything. It was funny he'd never picked up Kairi's name. At least, he couldn't remember ever hearing it. If he had it had long since slipped his mind, although he did recall calling her a Love Freak at some point. He didn't think he was still far from the mark. Nothing like Flonne, of course, but still...
The Overlord was perched on the front steps of the hotel, just beneath the porch overhang. He was glad for the storms. The rain and thunder suited his mood perfectly. Flonne was off baking a cake or whatever she'd ended up doing, while Etna was hopefully keeping an eye on her. Meanwhile, he was here, pretending to not be moping.
It's not that he didn't feel guilty. He knew he did. It was gnawing at him, deep down. It wasn't as easy to brush away as it once had. Laharl didn't like hurting her, but... he felt like it was for the best. If he wasn't so close to her he shouldn't feel as bad if she went and vanished again, right? Not to mention it would hopefully make her less a target. At least, that's what he hoped for.
Still, he felt bad that he was just sitting here, instead of keeping an eye on her, but he was sure Etna would let him know if something happened. ...Right?
Ergh, if this was the right decision, why was it making him feel so crappy? Laharl had no idea.
