[Anna's strange ether signature and levels are suddenly explained away the moment she draws attention to the core crystal on her chest, and--bingo. Zelos finds himself smirking at the sight, watching Anna's reaction to what must be heavy emotional bleed, the urgency she requests they follow her with. Even when it's out of his sight, Zelos still feels smug. Interesting... So that's why he couldn't sense her that well earlier; she's a blade eater. Rare as they may be, here she stands, guiding them to Architect-knows-where.]
"Of course, hon," [Zelos whispers back to Sheena, smirking still, eyes on Anna's back as she pushes forth. He then shoots her a quick look, if only to wink at her.] "I'll keep you safe."
[This just keeps getting weirder and weirder, he thinks as he redirects his gaze at Anna again, but there's worse fates than being caught with a blade eater and her blade. Zelos gathers ether around himself. He has enough offensive abilities in his pre-programmed arsenal to take care of the both of them and escape without needing the sword, but that'll depend on what happens at Anna's hideout. They'll get to that eventually--the ambient ether should tell him most of what he needs to know, once they're there.
For now Zelos does, however, notice them taking a little detour closer to Meltokio than he's personally comfortable with, but keeps his mouth shut. A hideout is a hideout. If push comes to shove, then they just kill Anna and her blade and take the hideout for themselves, then get on their way to the next best place Zelos can think to look for help.

He's got this.]
