The interruption annoys Zelos immediately, and he doesn't hide his displeasure at the strength and timbre of Lloyd's voice when he suddenly introduces himself. At least Zelos heard him approach, so he wasn't caught by surprise, though that still doesn't mean that Zelos hides the raised eyebrow he gives Lloyd.

There's... something, bubbling in his connection to Sheena. Zelos hums, blinks at Lloyd's hand. It's a sensation that feels the same way a cringe produced by secondhand embarrassment would, something tight and nervous coming from his driver. Zelos raises his eyes to set them on Sheena for a split second, taking in her expression before he flickers them to meet Lloyd's instead. These two know each other, his mind says. They're from the same world.

Sheena knows something about Lloyd that he doesn't show.

Hm.

"Hi," Zelos finally speaks, voice light and friendly and an easy smile on his face as he pushes himself off the wall, uncrosses his arms, and takes Lloyd's hand in his in a deliberately slow fashion. He shakes it once and rather harshly, though, squeezes tight and doesn't let go. He tilts his head and squints, still smiling. "Name's Zelos, but you probably already know that. I knew your name, too. It's a rather late introduction for us, huh?" He laughs, letting go of Lloyd's hand and shrugging instead. "I'm jokin'. Yesterday was a mess, huh?"

Whether or not Lloyd catches the observant, calculating look Zelos gives him behind the grin, the Aegis just doesn't care.
