Zelos can't help but tense a little when she says that, opting for sighing and crossing his arms to hide his discomfort. He rolls his eyes. He'd been honestly expecting to get away scot-free from the whole emotional bleed thing by keeping himself under control and being quiet about it, given Sheena is from a different universe and she totally neglected reading up on the blade system, but apparently he's been sloppy enough for her to pick up on it here and there. I mean, the whole 'shut the fuck up I'm gonna let you feel how annoyed I feel' thing probably didn't help, either, but can you really blame him? He was frustrated! This kinda stuff is just habit for blades!
Okay, okay. Zelos doesn't really feel like disclosing exactly why he's feeling the way he does, and he's currently too emotionally constipated by just holding in all his fear and anxiety, so instead of being honest he does the next best thing.
He tells a half-truth.
"She's a total stranger, remember? Who knows what else she's really planning, considering, well," Zelos laughs, goes for gesturing to where his core crystal lies hidden under his clothes. Raises his eyebrows and says nothing else. Deliberately doesn't say Anna's name, just in case.
