[On edge just because of how close to Meltokio Castle they are again, even if it's not really that close and it's just his anxious mind making things bigger than they really are, the ether at Zelos' fingertips is already crackling when Anna breaks into a sprint and leaves them behind. He manages to keep it down, swallows down fear where Sheena can't find it. And then she shoots him a look and insists on going ahead, and Zelos bites his tongue before he says anything, watching her go ahead anyway. Okay, Sheena. Alright. Fuck yourself up, then.
At the very least, Zelos guesses that he could get to analyzing from out here, so he looks around cautiously, taps into his senses, tries to discern and categorize each ether signature in the house. There's that odd, ancient, less concentrated signature from Sheena, though it feels a little like it's growing in intensity. Weird, Zelos thinks. There's a strong signature from inside--Anna's blade, most likely, if the match-up between both is anything to go by. So, that makes three people here aside from Zelos. Exactly as planned.
Except not quite.
Anna's blade rushes forward and hugs her so tight that it gives Zelos whiplash. Okay, that was sudden, but there's probably no danger in that right now. Then someone else rushes at Sheena, and the first thing Zelos feels is a shock of fear and surprise until it explodes into something joyous and sweet. Zelos turns to look at his driver and finds her hugging a boy in red clothes, laughing. He frowns at the scene--he'd only sensed three signatures. Then what the hell...?
Well, whatever. Sheena seems comfortable with him, so it'd be suspicious to act suspicious. The boy looks his way and freezes, and on instinct Zelos offers him a grin, gesturing with one hand at him and Sheena.] "Well, I'd hate to ruin your moment here, and seeing how Anna's blade is fine," [he says over the sound of Anna and her blade debating with each other, stepping forward into the house and past Sheena and her friend, nonchalantly gesturing over his shoulder,] "I think I'll just help myself inside."
[He barely pays them any mind, looking around cautiously and curiously, and approaches Anna and her blade. Zelos offers them a bright smile and a wave.] "Yo! Thanks for hosting us tonight!" [he cheers. Then Zelos points at himself, grinning.] "I've been stolen!"
[There's ether still gathered in his hands. Just in case he has to act to kill.]
[Comes in fifteen minutes late with Starbucks] Dude where's my hug
