Yeah, they have a habit of doing that. I guess they used to do it a lot, huh?
[Lloyd grins at the from his seat at the table, and then makes a face.]
It's weird. There's no way to even know whether they're talking about us! It's almost worse than overhearing someone by accident.
[Sheena laughs.]
Hah. You only say that because it means you can't eavesdrop.
[Almost instantly Lloyd bristles, but it's the kind without heat; more sheepishness and embarrassment, and maybe a touch of amusement.]
Shut up! I just figure, if someone's gonna talk about me, they may as well do it to my face.
[Kratos watches them argue with some amusement and no prickle of unease from it. It's the sort of argument which feels familiar, enough that he manages to bypass the whispering dread of what came to be without falling into it. He doesn't realise the amusement is showing on his face as a tiny smile, but it is, and Colette notices.]

Oh! You should smile more. You have a nice smile.
