[Okay, now that is what gives him pause. He regards Sheena for a second before stopping altogether, a hand rising to rest under his chin as he thinks. Zelos hums--what does he want to do? He hadn't given that much thought before. He hadn't really thought he could do or be anything else outside of the castle, thought of himself almost exclusively as Tethe'alla's weapon. The freedom to choose now, even if illusory, is overwhelming.
And that's the thing, too--now that he remembers what Sheena wants to use him for, as a blade at the mercy of her commands and with nowhere else to go, there's really nothing he can do other than follow Sheena around and obey her original request. Because Zelos doesn't want to believe she actually wants his input, if he's gonna be honest. A driver actually wanting to hear what her blade desires? Yeah, right. And her Zelos is still alive. Sheena's nice, and adorably naïve, but there's no way she's going to let Zelos out of his prison and escape without getting what she wants out of him first. That's how humans work.
So he makes it a show out of thinking his choice through, tilts his head, stares out at the moons as if deeply in thought. He entertains the thought of what he wants for a second before coming up blank and deciding just to get this over with already, planning something else instead.
He turns to look at Sheena and presses his face directly into her personal space, grin comically large, and laughs.] "I have no idea!" [Zelos cheerfully announces. He straightens out of her space and shrugs in an exaggerated motion.] "Obviously, though, we should first get as far away from the castle as possible, and then find somewhere to hide. But after that, I guess I send you off, right? You must miss home!"
['Let's stop pretending and get what you want done and over with already,' he thinks. He doesn't want to hate Sheena, but the fact that she just needs the Aegis to send her home? Still kinda burns. And now he has to find a way of how to go about this, considering how weak and artificial he is.]
