Lloyd immediately deflates, bending over with a heavy sigh. His heart is thrumming so violently in his chest, he thinks it might jump out. “Please, don’t scream unless it’s actual danger. You scared me.”
“Sorry.” Arin and Sora apologize in unison.
“But, seriously, look at the bug.” Sora chirps and Lloyd takes a peek at it.
“It looks like a bug.” Lloyd answers simply, still shaky from adrenaline.
“He’s a fancy bug.” Arin smiles, pointing at its little brown shell and pinchers. “Hes got pinchers and a cool shell.”
Lloyd nods numbly, watching the two kids. They seem so enamored with the little things in life, adoring it with everything they can muster.
Childlike wonder…
He can’t remember when he lost that…
Wait, he can…it was after Misako left.
Pain gouges in Lloyd’s chest, making it hard to breath, the sadness squeezing his lungs like a ruthless python.
He allows it to set in like before, let’s it burn, let’s it steam, let’s it fade to smoke.
“You know who this bug reminds me of?” Arin remarks.
“Who?” Lloyd asks, wincing at how scratchy his voice is.
“The brown ninja.”
Lloyd bursts into laughter, the tightness from before lifting as if a giant weight was taken off his chest. “He-he does.” he looks to the brown bug, giggling again.
He can imagine Dareth’s face on the insect now and he can’t help, but laugh more.
“He was so cool.” Arin murmurs.

KURT ART GO! Sí, sí, y más. Another art dump. Close ups. VVV
I love fuzzy Kurt but I can't draw it well for my life :(( some Gambit and Rogue to heal the soul btw. They're in love ok ok? Btw beared Kurt in the sketch dump is my phone lockscreen, just calling myself out. And my background is the doodle of myself fawning over him aksjdkj. No shame.
Also have no idea how to draw Kurt consistently rip. Sorry to anyone who tries and cares to read all the random notes, idk why I do that, but they're not important ajskjsk.
Lost the dates drawn, but idc bc they are recent.
