Okay, that comment about the guardian thing? Totally warranted. It's not like Zelos has to stick around, but-- leaving Luca, only to go back immediately? Faking offense at that is easy when he actually is pretty offended. Mylene would never let him hear the end of it, and then she'd send him to do his own fucking pilgrimage. Zelos would rather actually stay, thank you very much.

Instead of voicing that, though, Zelos chooses to go for something else. "Honey, if you keep your eyes down when you get to Bevelle you are going to be called a heretic by half the church," he says, gesturing broadly with one hand. The boat begins to sway again, the waves unrelenting and misbehaving, but it's not too much to worry about just yet, so Zelos scoffs and puts his hands in his hips. "That is, if they don't call you a heretic for not having any guardians with you in the first place. Martel almighty, what were you thinking!"
