Mithos just... Runs, once the realization that they're brothers hits him, and while it does sting a little - (c'mon, Lloyd's not that bad of a guy, is he?) - he forces himself to take it best he can. They've both had a hell of a night, between the nightmare and the revelation that their shared father is a god, and Lloyd feels just as emotionally exhausted as he's sure he must look, even in the beautifying lens of the dreamscape. But the problem with Mithos running like that is that Lloyd doesn't exactly know how to control it, so the dreamscape collapses around him, kicking Lloyd out and forcing him back into the waking world.
He wakes up on his side, facing the wall, tucked up tight against someone, and it takes him a moment to remember that he and Sheena are sharing the bed. Blinking open bleary eyes - (that feel rather difficult to open, indicating Lloyd must've cried in his sleep) - he sits up slowly, careful not to jolt Sheena awake, and stares at the wall facing him. It's still dark as hell, the blinds closed but not nearly efficient enough to block out this much light, so he guesses that it's probably still the middle of the night, and he's probably not going to go back to sleep again -
- wait. Is the wall glowing?
Lloyd squints. That certainly is an orange tint to the wall that he's sure hadn't been there before. He should investigate.
...
Nah, that's a problem for future Lloyd. He turns to make himself comfy again, only to catch more of the orange glow, half hidden by the covers, and it's bright intensity forces Lloyd to shield his eyes as they adjust to the glow. Once they do, he catches a figure around it, Sheena to their side, and -
Realization and surprise and joyous relief run Lloyd over like a stampede, and he can't help the laugh and the loud "Zelos!" that escape from his mouth, before he just throws himself on top of the sleeping blade and hugs him close. "You're back!" He exclaims, feeling the happiest he has in weeks. "You're finally back!"
