He should probably feel lucky there's someone around to explain what's happening to him -- Zelos can't begin to imagine having to figure all this out on his own, especially with not dying in the process -- but mostly he feels indifferent. Maybe someone promising to drag him through by his heel is exactly what he needs.
Aaaand then Yuan goes and does exactly the kind of thing Zelos doesn't want him around for. The hand he's leaning on slips. His head hits the ground. He waits a moment for the inevitable pain, remembers he won't feel it, then scowls up at the half-elf.]

[He pauses, then goes on without thinking.]
Actually, the first thing I said is that Sheena would be devastated, 'cause she can't live without me. But still, nothing about being in love. How reliable did you say this was?
[It's strange, and tiring, and it very nearly hurts, like stretching a muscle you haven't used in a long time. But Zelos is relieved to find that not talking is still easier than talking, so he won't transmit anything to anyone without meaning to. That could definitely get a little awkward.]
