Lloyd spots Sheena waving from their campsite, and even though he was already smiling while bantering with Malos and Anna on their walk, it quickly spreads out into an excited beam as soon as he sees her and Zelos. He picks up the pace, pretty much jogging over, and as he gets closer to the campsite and can see their expressions, well.
They don't look unhappy, really, but there is a definitive sense of Something Just Happened in the air and it's a bit worrying. Lloyd's noticed at this point their hesitance in being alone together, not quite avoidance but just a general discomfort of having to face each other, and. Well, he didn't get involved, didn't try to play counselor, but it was a little anxiety-inducing to see them shut away from each other a bit. He's glad they seem to be - y'know, not at each other's throats, but he still can't tell where they land with each other.
And both Sheena and Zelos have similar looks of relief at the return of the rest of the party, so maybe they need a bit of a distraction from whatever just happened or was discussed. Good for them, Lloyd's excellent at being a distraction.
Impulsively, Lloyd lets the toolkit slip into the pack and trades it for an orange they had grabbed from the market, makes his way to the two, and plops himself down on the ground in front of them with a quick "hey!"
He then proceeds to bite into the orange. The completely unpeeled orange. Without any fanfare. The citrus flavor is immediately overtaken by the absolute soured bitterness of the peel, completely ruining any satisfaction that comes with eating an orange the normal way, and even though Lloyd regrets this decision immensely, he keeps the blankest face he can muster. He's eaten worse. Like tomatoes.
Lloyd chews, swallows, and then grins at them. "Market was fun."
