Don't worry, Sheena--at the ether levels he's at, there's just no way for Zelos to get up that won't hurt and tire him out like a bitch. He's at least aware enough of that, so, to show her he won't even move, he rolls his eyes and grins weakly at her, amusement slipping through their link. It's meant to comfort, somehow. And it's wiped off and away when That Guy dares to mention the cannon, replacing the amusement with a prickling sensation of cold needles in his skin, knocking the air out of his lungs as he remembers the mines, the pod--

It's just a question, something simple and more of a confirmation than anything, but for some reason Zelos feels the weight of the world resting on the way that the blade says those five words.

"Aegises... share a signal wavelength," Zelos croaks out instead through his gasps for air, blinking rapidly, trying to will down the leftovers of his freakout. Don't think about it now, Zelos, just don't. Focus on this instead. He takes a deep breath. "C-Colette has mine. Felt--Felt like... felt familiar." His eyes close. "It's her."
