It's a simple enough question but there're just so many things. He has to run down the list mentally as he plunks down in the sand next to Lloyd. He can't tell him about Tsubaki. That would be a breech of confidence and reveal more about himself and just how much he hides than Zelos is comfortable with. Zelda can't be shared either; it's tied too much up in sex and everything horrible he wants Lloyd never to have to learn. His mother... no. It's something he'd told Lloyd about already and reliving that conversation is simply too much, especially given the timing of when he'd told him originally, right before...
Did that really still weigh on him? He'd betrayed them to Cruxis, he would have made them kill him if Lloyd hadn't spoken with him in Flanoir and changed his mind about taking the easier path. Something about Lloyd not knowing that, not having forgiven him, it bothers him. He knows it hasn't happened yet for Lloyd, he still has many things to overcome when Vatheon finally decides to spit him back out, but maybe he should bring it up. And who knows, maybe Lloyd won't forgive him, this time. Maybe he'll spare Zelos the trouble of wondering when he'll leave too, save him from progressively pushing the kid away for his own good and let it happen all at once.
It's better that way, anyway.
His tone is even, sounding uncaring, when he speaks again.]
Y'know, when you go back, you shouldn't trust me. I'm just leading you all into trap after trap for Cruxis.
