They probably "knew" each other better from the fairy tale curse, but there had been that brief exchange after Zelos had made that drunken post. Not that Lloyd really wants to think about that right now.

Lloyd comes in when he's invited, smiling once he's inside. This is already off to a promising start. He can do this, no problem!

"Thanks. So, uh, I was talking to Zelos. He said... you're a goddess?" If he sounds a little bit hesitant about that, it's because he is. It's still hard to believe in a real goddess's existence. Maybe Zelos got something wrong.
