[It's been a long time since someone trying to reassure Zelos actually worked.
He stares at Yuan's hand for a minute, then accepts the help back onto his feet. He doesn't understand why Yuan was rude to the guard, and he doesn't understand why Yuan acts like he knows a great many things no one else does. (None of the other librarians act like that, anyway.) What Zelos does understand is the tug in his gut which tells him something important is going on, and it would probably be better if he doesn't know what it is.]
Don't you want to know why they're looking for me?
[This is said a little more cheerfully than before, a little more like a child teasing a parent. For all that, though, it's still more vulnerable than Zelos has let himself be for months.]
