The situation is dire, sure, and a panicked part of Zelos' mind rattles against his core like a desperate, caged bird, but there's no need to act rashly just yet. Sheena getting kidnapped is already a red flag that harshly tugs at his blade instincts, but it won't take long until the humans realize they've taken a flesh eater and blade eater along as well instead of any other good catch. And even if they could kill Sheena to get at him, since they don't know exactly where the Aegis' core crystal would end up, that'd be completely pointless. Most likely, then, the three of them will be used for ransom. There's not a whole lot of time to waste, but they have time.
That in mind, Zelos takes a few deep breaths while Mithos and Malos argue, trying to calm himself, but then ends up cursing under his breath when the Aegis and his driver walk off on the way to the checkpoint.
No, no-- Damn idiots-- what the hell! They need to plan this out at least a little, lest they too fall victims to these humans! Mithos specifically!
Zelos is just about to let himself give in and walk off behind them when he remembers a very, very important little detail everyone else has completely discarded.
Frustration is a good motivator to make this right. Hands balled into fists, Zelos walks over to Malos. He does his best to ignore the way his own panic echoes and bounces on its own without Sheena's input, expression carefully hidden behind a mask of determination. "You mentioned drugs," the Aegis says to the blade, eyeing him up and down. With Lloyd and Mithos stuck in an idiot feedback loop as they are, they really need to hurry now, but-- "How bad will the side effects be for you? Are you able to walk right now?"
