Wow! She'd expected a reaction kind of like this, really, wouldn't have known what to do with Zelos being genuine about his feelings in the first place, but the way he just blows it off entirely gets her hackles up a little anyway, crossing her arms loosely. It's brief, though, easily brushed off; he's not being awful, and it's not like she can blame him for it.
But okay, yeah, a topic change is fine. At least it'll distract him a little. "I guess that is pretty neat," she allows, charitably. It's just lighting a fire, Zelos. Sheena's no mage, but it's hard to spend much time in the imperial lab - or travelling with Genis and Raine - without picking up a few things about magic. She's not really more than idly curious, but it's an excuse to keep the conversation going, and an excuse not to have to deal with the fact that she feels just a little uneasy about letting him out of her sight just after his outburst. "Actually, do blades not need to use incantations? The mages I've known back home do for most things, but I just realized I haven't seen anyone here do it." Is that why he'd thought her treating his weapon like a summon spirit had been so funny? Fuck. She takes a step towards the fire, glancing down into it.
