So there, standing a little ways from the entrance, the female shifted her weight awkwardly. ]
Lloyd...

Colette!
[And for a moment he forgets that he's not supposed to move. He starts to stand up, then winces and sinks back into his chair, one hand holding his tender chest. Ouch. Bad move.
But it fails to dampen his excitement.]
Hey, Colette!

Wait, don't--!
[ Annnd it was a little too late. She gasped, finally making her way to close the distance between them before she was kneeling at his side. Poor Lloyd... but for now, she was going to try to smile for him. ]
Heh, hello. You have to be careful, Lloyd. It doesn't look like you are completely healed yet.
Reply
['Scuse him, Colette. He's going to try to pretend it doesn't hurt and slightly fail. But look, a distraction~ He reaches out to take her hand.]
But I'll be okay, I promise. Kratos has been healing me, and I've always been a fast healer. I'll be back on my feet in no time.

She's trying to hold that smile, really she is, but ooh is it hard. ]
I'm glad... [ A pause, another squeeze. ] ... and I know you will, because you have always been so strong.
Reply
At the mention of being strong, his expression falters a bit.]
But not always strong enough. I couldn't even protect myself this time. I need to be stronger if I want to protect anyone else.
Reply
... Oops. Maybe that was the wrong thing to say at the wrong time. ]
We want to protect you, too. [ Even though this time she couldn't-- She wasn't there to protect him. ] ... I'm sorry.

Hey, it's not your fault. I'm the one who got in that fight. In fact, it's probably even my fault. Sort of. [His expression sours.] I still say he needed to be stopped.
Reply
I know, but would have liked to help you some way. [ Not like she knows a lot of the details about the battles itself, but Lloyd still got hurt. That was a point! ] I-- we were all really worried.
Reply
I guess I wasn't really thinking. He just made me so angry!
[And you know how Lloyd gets when he's mad. Act first, think after.]
Reply
With his statement, that earns him the smallest of concealed giggles in return. It was a start, but that hand squeeze was starting to take its effect. ]
It's alright. We all know how you act when you get a little worked up. I'm just glad you're safe now. Oh--!
[ Brb, moving her free hand beside her before pulling out a small container. ] I made some jam for you! I thought that this might cheer you up a bit.
Reply
Wow, really?! Thanks, Colette! [He accepts the jar eagerly, trying to examine its contents.] What flavor is it? You really made it yourself? I can't wait to try it! Man, this is great!
Reply
Whoa whoa, chill out there, eager one. All of your questions will be answered. ] It's apple mango! I mixed an apple gel in there too so it should make you feel all better! [ Alright, laughing a bit more. ] Hehe, I did. I really hope you like it.
Reply
I bet it'll be the best jam ever! [He's not just flattering, either. Colette's really good at sweet things, especially when they involve fruit.] Now I wish I had some bread. I'll have to ask Kratos for bread when we have dinner.
Reply
That sounds like a great idea! The both of you can try it and see how you like it. I'll make more later on.
Reply
Hmm... Speaking of which...
Hey, Colette? Can I ask you something about being an angel?
