Malos raises his eyebrows at the bullshit pie Zelos just offered him, but ignores it for a second. Zelos asked him a question, so the least he can do is answer-- especially since it has to do with Zelos' safety.

"Well, if we're looking for some place to safely harbor an Aegis, there's really only one place to go, right?" he says, carefully, mouth twisting a little in disgust. "Sure, the other free Aegis on this planet might be a little brat, but... if Mithos has managed to hide away from humanity for 500 years, surely he can hide you, too." And it won't be so bad seeing Kratos again, either.

"Also..." Malos shakes his head, laughs. "Real cute that you think you can get away with the whole 'only been alive a day' spiel, but come on, Zelos, I know Aegises keep their memories between lifetimes." That's THE most important distinction between Aegises and regular blades, honestly, other than that Aegises are significantly stronger. "How long've you really been alive? At least a couple decades now, right? More than that? You can't tell me in all that time you haven't thought even once about what you'd do with your freedom if only you could get it."
