[The only thing that can be heard from Kratos' end is a soft, drawn-in breath.

Lloyd is here. His son is here.

Speaking to Yuan about how much he didn't want Lloyd here must have jinxed it, must have tempted fate. The last time Kratos saw Lloyd was when the boy was denying him as his father.

[Of course he notices. He has eyes on the back of his head. Lloyd doesn't look worried though. Beneath the occasional shiver, he's so happy that he's almost glowing.

I can't wait.

[He sneezes and trips. Good job, Lloyd!

He sniffles and adds,]

This place leaves a really great first impression.

Doesn't it? [Dryly.]

[LOL. He missed that dryness so much...]

Hey, is that it?

[He points up ahead! He can sort of make out the shapes of buildings through the trees.]
