Dude, not many people can accept them. Take a well earned rest, all right?

[ How did he-- oh, that's right. Experience. ] Perhaps if their methods were less antagonistic, such difficulties would be minimal. [ Sighing. ] I shall feel much more rested when I hear that the situation has been resolved for everyone.

[andallforone]

Yeah, tell me about it.

[ He'd much rather not tell Yosuke, to be frank, but he did have some questions. ]

I am hoping others are faring better with their "better" halves. [ It isn't like him to be sarcastic, but given the approach the Shadows seemed to have taken -- the ones he spoke with, at any rate -- it felt appropriate. ]

[anearlmustmarry]

Good to see you alive and kicking!

[as_you_command]

As if there would be any doubt. [ Lloyd should know; it takes more than one person to keep Guilford down for any amount of time. ]

You were not approached by it-- him, were you?

[anearlmustmarry]

No. He seemed rather intent on finding you, after all!

[as_you_command]

[ A heavy sigh. ] That much is evident.

I am aware of Cornelia's Shadow coming forth, but... have there been others that you are familiar with? [ "Close by," being the implication in his tone. Lloyd would be his closest link at the moment, if things were awry in that house. ]
