Anna's questions pull an obviously nervous laugh out of Lloyd, one he desperately tries to quell by taking a way-too-big bite of the apple, one that leaves him chewing for a few moments as he anxiously racks his brain for ways to answer without being way too honest and inspiring prying questions. Finally swallowing, and using his jacket sleeve to wipe at his mouth, he answers as best he can.
"The journey was - I mean it's. It wasn't a big deal, really. My friend - Colette, I've talked about her - she... Had a cool, uh, goal, she had to accomplish, so I joined her while she traveled. We met Sheena and some others along the way."
Lloyd pauses, mentally thinks back at what he had just said, and kinda berates himself. He's such a terrible liar, damn it, but as long as Anna understands not to pry, it'll be fine. He's just - he's enjoying himself. He doesn't want this day to be ruined by thinking too hard.
And then she asks if he was a fugitive. Well, Anna, it might surprise you that not only was he a fugitive, he was a fugitive on two goddamn worlds!
But Lloyd's not gonna tell her that.
"A-ah, no I wasn't - well, I wasn't actively." Lloyd pauses, blinks, and then continues. "I wasn't a fugitive."
