The Aegises' driver was a blade...? And--and he was a flesh eater, at that? Well, Zelos guesses as he sets his chin in his hand, pensive as he processes Kratos' words, Kratos definitely has the age and means to prove the story, and it's always a lot easier to trust a blade to tell the truth than it is to trust a human.
Still, this complicates things. "The official story that I had been told was that the Aegises' driver was a self-interested human that stole the twin blades from Sylvarant and Tethe'alla, effectively putting a stop to the war by becoming the larger villain," Zelos says, cringing a little while reciting the lie spoon-fed to him from birth. Of course humanity would lie, especially to their own fucking weapon. He clears his throat. "But if you were their driver... Then you'd know the truth of what's happened to Mithos and Martel, huh?"
He's going on a gamble with a man who's still technically a stranger right now, he knows it, but if Kratos is as familiar with the Aegises and the weapon facilities as he should be, then he's an important person to keep around. Architect, he's driven Aegises before. Ether itching with anticipation Zelos raises his gaze to meet Kratos' again, eyes intense and searching for an answer that will hopefully make sense of everything. "I'd been told that Martel died sometime after the first war, though. How could Sylvarant be using her if she's dead?"
