If he's completely honest, Lloyd has been paying little attention to the things going around him since their encounter with Mithos. He's aware of some sort of tension between Zelos, Sheena, and Kratos, and made it a point to be there for Malos in the aftermath of his panic attack, but he feels disconnected from his body, mind-numbed from the wave of emotions he felt as soon as he brought up the block. All things considered, he could do with distraction to stop his thoughts from wandering, eyes watching the flames, void of any obvious mood.

So when Zelos stands and announces his plans for a perimeter check, Lloyd finds himself shrugging on his jacket and getting to his feet too, flashing Zelos a smile. "I'll join you. It's nice out, anyways."

Lloyd inconspicuously pats at his jacket's right pocket, double-checking to make sure the miniature of Zelos' sword is there, as it's been since he finished the carving. Usually, he'd paint the wood - or at least polish it - but one can't really be picky on the quality of things while on the run. Still, hesitance begins to creep into Lloyd's heart. What if Zelos doesn't like it? Does it seem weird to make things for friends like this? What if he thinks it's dumb and so is Lloyd by association?

Taking a breath, Lloyd waves the sudden anxieties away, going for some sort of confidence instead. He squares his shoulders and strengthens his smile, stepping up to Zelos and tilting his head forward. "After you."
