Lloyd & Sheena: Flanoir

Note: You see this scene if, when you go to see the doctor in Flanoir and Sheena stays behind with Lloyd (two others will too), when Sheena walks into Lloyd's room and you answer "Sure."

**********

Lloyd: Who is it? Come on in.

Sheena enters

Sheena: Hey, do you have a sec?

Lloyd: Sheena! What's up?

Sheena: Wanna come outside with me? It's snowing, and it's really pretty.

Lloyd: Sure.

Pan of the city of Flanoir

Sheena: Everyone's asleep. The world looks so peaceful when you stand up here like this.

Lloyd: Yeah. Even though up above us, Cruxis is busy planning its absurd Age of Lifeless Beings.

Sheena (amused): Lifeless beings… Do you think discrimination would really go away if everyone became lifeless beings?

Lloyd: ...I doubt it would.

Sheena: Yeah. I agree. I'm human. But the people of Mizuho and the other people of Tethe'alla have always had a gap separating them. Even inside Mizuho I always stood out.

Lloyd: Maybe Mithos despises the blood of both races that course through his body.

Sheena: Maybe so. I can kind of understand that too.

Lloyd: Because you're from Mizuho?

Sheena: Well, since I can make pacts with Summon Spirits, I probably... I probably have elves in my ancestry somewhere in the distant past.

Lloyd: Really?

Sheena: Apparently, only those of elven blood can call forth Summon Spirits. Not just magic, but also any technique that uses the mana of the natural world requires some elven blood to be flowing through you.

Lloyd: Then Kratos and Zelos too?

Sheena: They might have some elven blood in them. Just like me.

Lloyd: ...I see.

Sheena: The instant I made the pact with Corrine, people around me started to look at me differently. And I thought to myself, this is what it must be like for half-elves all the time.

Lloyd: Did you… ever wish you were different?

Sheena: ...I've lost count of all the times I've wished it. Especially since I caused the deaths of the people in my village. But it's because I have this power that I met Corrine and all of you.

Lloyd: Yeah, if you didn't have your summoning abilities, someone else might have come to kill Colette instead.

Sheena: When I think about it that way, I think that everything a person possesses is important in some way.

Lloyd: In other words, you have your summoning abilities because they're needed.

Sheena: Yeah. My power, Colette's power, Raine and Genis' elven blood...And everything you've received from your parents. They're all needed and that's why they're there. We're all needed and that's why we're here.

Lloyd: ...I think you're right. I think every single life has meaning.

Sheena: Me too. I've started thinking that way lately. And when I did, it's like a great weight was lifted from my shoulders. To know that it's okay just to be alive...you know?

Lloyd: Well, yeah, that's a given isn't it?

Sheena: It wasn't a given for me. I failed in my duties and ran from making pacts. I always thought of myself as a burden.

Lloyd: I see.

Sheena: But after seeing you say exactly what you mean, not holding back, time and time again. I started to think that maybe I could just ... be myself.

Lloyd: Really? I don't quite get it.

Sheena: Really. I think I started to think that way because you live your life in such earnest.

Lloyd: Heh. I think that's a compliment.

Sheena: ...I wish Mithos could feel that too.

Lloyd: Mithos...

Sheena: If he lived his life as earnestly as you do, maybe he wouldn't be able to snuff out the lives of those who are trying just as hard to live.

Lloyd: ...I don't know if we can get that across to him or not but I'm going to fight him...For the sake of creating a world where we can live our lives the way we want to.

Sheena: Are you planning to make the next move?

Lloyd: Yeah. I don't see the situation improving by allowing Cruxis to go about their merry way.

Sheena: I agree. I don't like just sitting around and waiting to see what happens.

Lloyd: Right? You and I think a lot alike, Sheena! I think we could become great friends.

Sheena: ...Great...friends.

Lloyd takes a step back in surprise.

Lloyd: Oh, you don't want to?

Sheena turns away in frustration.

Sheena: ...Idiot!

Zanza's Take on the scene: This is a very cute scene. It becomes VERY obvious that Sheena has a deep love for Lloyd, which is goes beyond a simple crush, where looks are usually the prime factor, but this love is one built out of respect and mutual admiration. Too bad Lloyd is too dense at this point to respond to Sheena's love. Don't worry, Sheloyd fans. It'll all change in Heimdall. ^_^
