"I've done worse," Lloyd shrugs with a playful grin, catching the orange before it hits his head and peeling a slice out of what's left of its mangled corpse. "This wasn't as bad as the times I've done this with a banana."

Popping the slice into his mouth, he chews - it tastes like a normal citrus fruit now, and he lets the actually welcomed taste of orange juice explode on his tongue - and fights off another laugh at the ridiculousness of what just happened. It's. Really nice, laughing like this again, and knowing he was successful in getting both Sheena and Zelos to laugh too just makes it all that much better. He likes this. It feels safe.

Silently, Lloyd hopes it stays that way.
