Zelos kicks her out of the dream and into consciousness, unceremoniously, and all Sheena can feel is relief as she lands back into her waking body.
Her face is tacky and damp with tears - she must have been crying in her sleep. Great. At least it doesn't seem like she'd been loud enough to wake anyone. Lloyd's got enough on his plate to deal with, and she has no intention of telling him about any of what just happened anyway. She lets out a shaky sigh, shifting in her bedroll to wipe her face dry. There's no getting back to sleep after that, her head still a mess of her own emotions, Zelos's distant-and-fading ones, and everything she'd seen, but she lies still, watching the stars without really taking them in.
The unease remains even as the others finally wake up and get moving, and she can't quite find an inner balance. She keeps her distance from Zelos, awkward, self-aware enough to know that if she tried to press the issue now, while she's still upset, she'd only end up making it worse. (And besides, what would she even say?) So she stays quiet - shakes off Lloyd's concern with a definitely-fake laugh and a comment about just having had a weird dream, spending her time practicing dampening the emotional link between them. She doesn't get far, still off-balance as she is, but even taking a little of the immediacy out of it feels like a victory.
