Playing with the cuff of his left glove, Lloyd continues to stare ahead, willing his broken mind and soul into quieting down again, listening for the loud pulse of his stubbornly beating heart in his ears. Does he want Mithos to go? He's not sure. He's not sure if he wants to be alone, only knows that he probably shouldn't be, not with his fragile state and the ability to be in a dreamscape he can shape. Who knows what his half-aware delusions could form.
"It's okay," Lloyd says, after a few moments of silence, quickly glancing at Mithos with a weak, close-mouthed smile. "You can stay. Up to you."
And then he hums, relaxing his posture enough to bounce his right leg. Chances are, Mithos had seen everything, and terror grips at Lloyd just enough to worry about what that could mean for what Mithos thinks of his driver. Does he think of him as a murderer? It's not like he'd be wrong. It's not like it's far from what Lloyd thinks of himself.
And to see Lloyd kill the reflection of an Aegis in this world... If Mithos didn't trust Lloyd after this, Lloyd wouldn't blame him. Maybe he should offer to give up resonance. But for now, Lloyd can at least offer up answers to questions Mithos might have.
"You... Probably have questions. You can ask. I won't mind."
WHO ARE YOU GONNA FILE A COMPLAINT TO, THE "MURDER OF JRPG LOVE INTERESTS" BOARD??
