She'd settled on the ground next to Lloyd to watch the fight, curious to see both how Anna fought and how Zelos handled himself since she'd hardly been able to focus on him during the escape, but, well. Malos falters, and Zelos snaps, and his anger rushes into her like a lava flow, unstoppable and completely overwhelming. For a second she forgets how to breathe in the face of it. Lloyd's hand finds hers, though, and she squeezes back tight, pulling herself back. It's enough to get her through until Zelos slams the door shut on their connection, letting the tension ebb. Her grip relaxes, one much gentler squeeze of gratitude before she lets go so he can get to his feet. She doesn't follow, not wanting to intrude on the family group hug, but she stands and dusts herself off as he goes, heading after Zelos. It's not hard to tell, with the way he's been talking about himself and what she'd seen in the castle, that it had been personal for him, and worry and some anger of her own on his behalf builds in her.
"Hey," she says as she catches up to him, awkward, unsure of how to start, but - she can't not, right? It's not like she actually expects a Zelos who's only known her for a day or two to open up to her, but they have to start somewhere. "Are you--" No, of course he's not alright. Come on, Sheena. She takes a deep breath, starts over: "You wanna talk about any of that?"
