The young man was so energetic, Zenoram had almost forgotten it. He loved it though. A nice change of pace from the loneliness and gloominess of just about everything else he and Zero began to feel, though Zero would never have admitted that. Still, it was something of a treat to see Karn so energetic. So energetic even that his motion sickness of before had been superseded by that excitement. Even more hilarious, even prompting a laugh from Zero in the mind of the two was was Karn licking the utterly confused Ferrin. [color=violet]"You've been through a lot, huh?"[/color] Zenoram said with a soft smile as Karn came back to embrace him once more. He was a bit weaker so he spoke at a slower rate. [color=violet]"Me and Zero started taking jobs. One after another in fact. The brief periods of time we [i]were[/i] here was taken up by him training with Damian. Or me talking with Damian."[/color] He sighed. [color=violet]"I missed you. But I guess the alone time was important."[/color] He crossed his arms and looked away for a moment as he released Karn. [color=violet]"Anyway..."[/color] Before Zenoram could continue Ferrin spoke. [b][color=silver]"Exactly how many people am I talking to right now?"[/color][/b] [i][color=purple]"Tell him 8."[/color] [color=violet]"Stop, don't be mean."[/color] [color=purple]"He had a sword pointed at Karn."[/color] [color=violet]"I thought you didn't care."[/color] [color=purple]"Um... I don't. I just know you care."[/color] [color=violet]"Hehe you're a tsundere."[/color] [color=purple]"WHAT?!"[/color][/i] Zenoram laughed a bit aloud before opening his mouth to speak. However, before he could reply Jamie came over. She replied first much to his surprise. [color=violet]"You used to be more than one too?!"[/color] He burst out, his head turning sharply to meet the eyes of the young(?) woman. He smiled brightly as he stepped up close to Jamie, clearly much faster than he should have as he quickly felt lightheaded. He stumbled back a bit catching himself on the rail of the ship. [i][color=purple]"Zenoram you've gotta be careful."[/color] [color=violet]"Y-yeah... Sorry..."[/color] [color=purple]"I know you don't get as bad as me, but it still effects you."[/color] [color=violet]"R-right. I just..."[/color] [color=purple]"I know. You got excited."[/color][/i] Zenoram took a breath and straightened himself. [color=violet]"Ahaha,"[/color] he chuckled softly as he turned back to Ferrin and said, [color=violet]"me and Zero are here."[/color] The young man made it seem so simple and matter of fact. [color=violet]"But... We're not... The same."[/color] He spoke in increments visibly trying to figure out how to word it. Zero was always so blunt, but he hated his motion sickness and wouldn't come out for anything on the boat, barring protecting Zenoram or one of the others he actually cared about. [color=violet]"He showed up when I was little. I guess... Something like a weird... Personality thing? We don't know. It's not quite that easy. And sometimes it feels like more than that. But even so, there are two of us. And if there are two of Karn... Then it's four?"[/color] He said a bit unsure. He could have been wrong after all.
