Zelos shrugged his shoulders in response. Was he joking? Entirely, and it was a joke that even she was in on.

Still, it's her turn to make him uncomfortable, and she was doing that in spades. There were few things that Zelos Wilder truly disliked, but other people worrying about him was at the top of the list. There was only one thing he could do at this point, and that was to try and shift the topic of conversation as quickly as he could.

"Whoa! I hadn't pegged you as the fast-moving type."

It would have been much more convincing as a troll attempt if Zelos had managed to wink instead of yawn.
