[There's a huge grin on Lloyd's face, the kind of grin you only give when you're pleased and excited and everything is right in the world, or when something amazing is happening.]

Hey, everyone! Guess who's officially an adult today!

Happy Birthday, Lloyd.

[will not comment that he had no idea that he was that old. noooope.]

Thanks, Kid!

[Well, Dirk was probably off by a few months. H-hey, what's that supposed to mean?!]

[ video ] soulsymmetrical September 21 2011, 15:03:19 UTC

But is not going back to school really what you're most excited about?

[nothing.]

[ video ] redcladidealist September 21 2011, 19:37:24 UTC

Well, that, and what it means to not go back to school. It means I'm free to go out and chase after my dreams and goals, and I get to make my own schedule for once.

[Good. B| ]

[ video ] soulsymmetrical September 22 2011, 02:02:02 UTC

I suppose I could understand that reasoning. Do you have any particular goals or dreams here in Somarium?

[ video ] redcladidealist September 22 2011, 12:13:32 UTC

My biggest goal has always been to find a way back home. I thought I'd figure that out pretty fast, so I didn't think about anything else. I kept telling myself that I'd find the Otherworldly Gate tomorrow. But I've been here eight months and I still haven't found anything. I don't want to give up, but... I guess I shouldn't ignore the fact that I might be stuck here for a really long time.

[He shrugs.]

So, I haven't thought about it as much as I could, but I'm going to now. I like making and building things, so that's probably what I'll do. Maybe I'll make jewelry and sell it! Or I could be a builder and help fix people's houses!

[ video ] soulsymmetrical September 22 2011, 21:43:52 UTC

[pause.]

You know how to make jewelry?

[look, it wasn't the first thing he would have thought of for the guy, all right? building...yeah he could see that. jewelry? nope.]

[ video ] redcladidealist September 22 2011, 21:53:28 UTC

Yeah. My Dad's a smith. He taught me a lot, but I wasn't ever strong enough to do the bigger stuff. I'm pretty good at detail work, though, and small things like jewelry. Still not as good as him, but then it's pretty hard to beat a dwarf.

[ video ] soulsymmetrical September 22 2011, 22:33:24 UTC

[his confusion. it's increasing with each sentence, Lloyd.]

Your father was...a dwarf?

[BUT YOU ARE PRETTY TALL.]

[ video ] redcladidealist September 22 2011, 23:14:52 UTC

My Dad is.

[A slight emphasis of distinction.]

My father... Well, I guess he's a human, but I don't remember him. Dad took me in when I was small.

[ video ] soulsymmetrical September 22 2011, 23:27:52 UTC

[...ah. now he's beginning to understand.]

I see. And you've never met your father?

[ video ] redcladidealist September 22 2011, 23:52:57 UTC

[Lloyd's not the best at explaining things, but at least there's some logic buried underneath it all.]

No. At least, not since I was three. It's probably safe to guess I never will, either. He might still be out there, but...

Well...

I think it's more likely that he died.

[ video ] soulsymmetrical September 23 2011, 03:52:51 UTC

...I'm sorry. This isn't exactly the best of topics to be having on one's birthday.

[ video ] redcladidealist September 23 2011, 10:51:21 UTC

[Lloyd shakes his head.]

It's fine. I didn't mind. But yeah, let's talk about something else.

Say, how old are you, Kid?

[Since the topic of age is on his mind.]

[ video ] soulsymmetrical September 23 2011, 21:50:50 UTC

Fifteen. I should be turning sixteen this year.

[or so I'm sort of assuming since canon doesn't say anything 8U]

[ video ] redcladidealist September 24 2011, 02:35:45 UTC

Huh. I kind of thought you were a little older. Maybe around my age.

[Good enough for me. o/]
