[Zelos laughs out loud at her trying to shove him off, hands on his hips. Sheena's comment about 'if it turns out you can't help' embeds itself into his throat like a shard of glass and raises the volume of his laugh for a second before he stops himself. Come on, focus on what's important here, idiot. Zelos tilts his head, grins, squints his eyes at Sheena.] "Of course, of course! To Mizuho it is for now, then! Hope they feel honoured and humbled when The Great Aegis Zelos, the crown jewel of Tethe'alla, shows up at their doorstep!"

[To be honest, though, Zelos is suddenly not feeling very convinced about the idea of heading to Mizuho as a fugitive, or putting himself in that much danger around so many people with hidden agendas, but... that's a problem for his future self. Especially when the ether around him and Sheena stirs, and his senses abruptly snap into focus as he pinpoints the source of the disturbance--somewhere behind him and Sheena, coming from Meltokio's general direction. Well, shit. They were followed.

Fuck. Alright, then, let's do this. He keeps himself as calm and casual as he can be despite the ether gathering at his fingertips, and discreetly circles Sheena so that he's in-between her and the signal, facing her at first. It's tactics, really; he can't have his driver die now. They haven't even left the country!

He flaps his hand about, grinning.] "Anyway, I'll leave the roadtrip route to you, then. However!" [Zelos announces, voice loud and booming, right as he summons his sword and turns around on his heel to face the signal.] "I'm not sure I like the idea of you knowing where we're going, whoever the hell you are. I mean, seriously, hasn't anyone told you that eavesdropping is rude?"

[Hopefully that sounds more confident than he feels!]
