[Oh... Somehow, even though he'd already guessed that was the case, being told that even in academic papers he's not really referred to as a person still manages to hurt. Zelos presses his lips into a fine line, breathing in to try and stabilize that hurt and anger into something more manageable.
The pathetic feeling of betrayal leaves him soon, though, when he considers her words of another world and his power. Zelos has read about the original Aegises, those whom he was based on, and knows that their power had been a mighty, terrifying beast to witness. When he thinks of that then Sheena's nonsensical claim to be from another world doesn't seem too far-fetched, seeing how Mithos and Martel supposedly helped create the world, but for some reason he still finds it in himself to doubt her. Because based on that alone, it's unsurprising--and a little disappointing, if he's honest--when Sheena's goals turn out to be selfish in nature.
Of course she'd want that power for herself--she's human. That's what humans think of the Aegises. That they're power they can control.
Sheena's no exception, huh? Though, her irritatingly simplistic idea of how things work here sure is something else. What an infuriatingly insulting attempt at a power-grab.] "Right. So what you're saying is that you just dimension hopped and now want my help in getting back home, and your way of going about it is to infiltrate the castle and kidnap me." [He grins, tight and cruel, and laughs.] "I'll give you props on the creative work of your cover story, at least. That's so cute." [Pause, shrug.] "Alright, I'll bite. Let's pretend I believe this crap. What happens now? A hundred years of the tightest security in the planet, and you really think you can escape Tethe'alla's borders with their Aegis on tow? Just like that?"
