[A noncommittal grunt and a dry huff are all Malos gets as replies while Zelos gathers himself back up behind his blank mask. He watches, carefully and tense, as Malos walks over to the window and peeks out of it, some of the sunlight outside is already peeking through, which means at least Sheena got some sleep. Good. He doesn't want his driver exhausted for tomorrow.
Zelos wills himself to stop shaking. This is... weird. At least Malos isn't asking about his dreams, nor is he making it a big deal about the state he'd found Zelos in, which means the shame he's feeling is easy to discard and dismiss after a few deep breaths. With time the blank mask gains a few strings of words he can use to defend himself with. And then Malos speaks, and Zelos actually scoffs.]
"You really gonna risk that?" [he asks. It's a little easier to keep a conversation rolling when Zelos can be a smartass over literally anything else. He pulls his right leg close to his chest and rests his arm over his knee, gesturing vaguely with it while leaning back a little on his other hand, regarding Malos with a smirk.] "Ya can't seriously be thinking it's safe out there right now."
