Having a grandpa to listen to is weird, Lloyd thinks as he watches Anna and Malos interact with each other, but there is definitely a grin on his face and he knows he's rapidly becoming accustomed to having them around him. It's scary how fast he's become attached, knowing that this will come to an end at some point, that he'll have to say goodbye because this world already has a Lloyd Irving and it isn't him.
But he ignores it for now. Right now, Lloyd has a mom and a grandpa. Right now, they're standing in front of him, cracking jokes and being family. He'll think about this tomorrow when he's at least a little more rested, ready to take on the day. For now, he stands up, stretching, because sitting on the floor for that long was a little uncomfortable but it's Fine, it was worth it, and yawns a little.
He really hopes he can sleep today. For one, he's cried two times today and came rather close a handful of other times, and he's going to attribute that to the fact that the longer he stays awake without rest, the easier it is for him to lose control of his emotions like that. Ugh, being an angel fucking sucks. Lloyd can't even wait out sleep until exhaustion overtakes him, because unless he expends way more mana than he's supposed to he's never going to feel physically exhausted.
Whatever. He's too emotionally tired to acknowledge his transformation more than that.
Lloyd holds a hand out for Anna so he can help her up and scans the room for Sheena, vaguely remembering a joke she had made about knocking him out if he couldn't sleep and being somewhat tempted to take her up on that offer. She's standing by not his Zelos, so there is a bit of fear that leeches onto his heart, making him wonder if he should really walk over there, if he could take being that close to a Zelos that isn't his own.
The ring hanging on the chain tucked under his shirt burns hot on his chest, so he looks away, deciding to wait until Sheena comes closer to talk to her. He can't handle properly introducing himself to Zelos right now, not when his mind is still racing and he wants nothing more than to just chill out with the one person in this world who truly knows him. Lloyd wants to know what happened to her, why she just disappeared. (He knows it wasn't her choice. Sheena is as crazy over Colette as he was over -)
"I could use some sleep, to be honest," Lloyd says, running his free hand through his bangs, "where should we plop ourselves for the night? I can sleep anywhere."
