Mithos sits, bored, as Lloyd thinks things over, playing with the little lights he's conjured, spinning them around his fingertips. It's Lloyd's dream, though, so he lets Lloyd think, humming idly to himself as he does. The lullaby his father taught him, the one he sang to Zelos the other day, though he picks up its pace a little, humming just because the tune is stuck in his head. At some point he shifts to whispering the words under his breath, just because at this speed it's easier to sing than to hum them--
But then Lloyd sighs, shifts like he's got a thought, and Mithos shuts himself up even though the tune plays on loop in his mind, listening to what Lloyd has to say.
It's irritating, a little. "That's not how core crystals work, and I don't remember Father making any prototypes," Mithos spits - not with any real venom, just his usual annoyance. He doesn't remember his Father having a crystal at all, except for whatever he was powering the blade network with, but... Honestly it doesn't matter.
"It's just weird, I'm not worried about it," Mithos says, sighing. "If I really want an answer, I can just ask Father myself."
He looks to Lloyd more seriously, here. "Anyway... what do you want to do now? It's your dream, so..." He wants to ask Lloyd if he's okay, honestly, after that nightmare, but with the subject changed and Lloyd distracted maybe that's not a good idea? "Well. I can wake us both up, or I can stay for a little while if you want me to. Whatever, uh..." He swallows. "Whatever you want, I guess."
He turns away from Lloyd here, embarrassed and trying not to show how out of his element he is. He hums the tune again, just a bar or two, as he waits for Lloyd to answer because it will not leave his head.
