Floundering, Lloyd tries to compose himself enough to answer, except. Well, he knows that if he tries talking about Mithos here, without Sheena around to hold hands with and know he's not alone, that - that somebody else knows he didn't want to, that he didn't - he didn't know how else to stop him or what else to do because talking didn't work and fighting wasn't working and Mithos was supposed to block -
Take a deep breath, Lloyd. Count to ten.
He can't answer that question.
"Don't ask," Lloyd says, suddenly and a little curtly, before softening his tone, looking down at his scuffed up boots. Stop lashing out, Lloyd, that's not how you get people to like you. "It doesn't matter, anyways. T-This Mithos seems way different. I... I'll get over it, but don't worry, alright?"
And then he flashes Anna the biggest grin he can muster, putting his all into ignoring everything his mind can throw at him, and lightly pulls his arm out of Anna's grip, skipping ahead just a little, just enough to keep her out of proper observing range. "Let's go, I wanna see what Malos was being so sneaky about!"
[lloyd voice] this is fine!
