Malos is lazily packing supplies for their journey, since he has nothing better to do with the time, and staying still too long makes him kind of antsy (he's honestly not sure if he was always like this, or if it's a bit of Anna rubbing off on him) so he might as well. He's in the middle of refolding a travel blanket when it happens.
The thud of a textbook hitting the floor, followed immediately by a scream-- two screams, separate. One from Zelos. One from-- Sheena? He knows it's not Anna (she's still asleep, he can feel that) and... Well, simultaneous like that, the Aegis' driver certainly makes the more logical choice, here. (He knows, if only vaguely, about the Aegis dreamspace, since Kratos talked about it before.)
Well, shit.
Sheena's probably fine, if Lloyd's with her, so Malos goes to Zelos instead-- finds him in the living room, upright on the couch with his head in his hands, breathing heavily, desperately. One of Anna's textbooks lies discarded on the floor. Zelos must've been poking through it out of boredom, must've fallen asleep in the middle of it. (Valid as hell, though, those things are unnecessarily dense.)
"Hey," Malos says, gently, loud enough to get Zelos' attention the first time (hopefully). He holds his hands up and in front of him, a little, where Zelos can see them. He doesn't get close, either. He's dealt with enough people post-nightmare to know not to do anything dumb.
He can only guess what the nightmares are about, but knowing wouldn't much change what he says next, anyway.
hoo boy

"Hey, it's alright, you're safe."
