( she is surprised, thank you very much, and it shows in the way her eyes widen and the way she's about to protest; she clamps down her objection when he explains. it's obvious in retrospect, maybe, but — she bites down that objection too. why shouldn't he know? he always seems to know everything… but… ) They said it was top-secret!
( …she blurts out anyway, retrospect and all, flushing in embarrassment.
so, he knows too, huh? her second thought is that it's almost a comfort, she almost wants it to be a comfort. someone else who knows, someone she can talk to about this, besides corrine, who she probably won't be able to talk to about any of this until tomorrow. right now that feels very far away. but it's zelos, and confiding in him… like he'd take it seriously. he'd just laugh. the idea shrivels and dies. with him standing over her like this, she feels hemmed and small. )
… Fine, fine, of course you know all about it. ( grudgingly, trying to cover up her outburst, trying to pretend she hadn't been taken by obvious surprise. ) It's still just work. I'm not upset!
You're not sure if you can take one life to save others.
[He states it casually, and that's probably the most annoying part. As if he's disregarding Sheena's other words, and like this isn't important. Of course, it only seems that way. He cares. Of course he cares. That's why he's here, after all.
But it's better if she doesn't pick up on that.
The point is she's worried and stressing out about it, and he wants to reinforce that it's not wrong to think like that. That she shouldn't do anything she regrets. He's just not sure how to go about that himself... So here he is, probably spurring it on.
But in the end, he's positive Sheena will sort things out. She doesn't really need him. She just needs a gentle nudge.]
Haha, well you're right! There's no way you're going to be able to do it.
