[Someone pretended we were friends and then tried to kill us.
Why did he let himself get sucked into this conversation? Pepper is way too much like Lloyd for laughing this off to work, and the problem is she'll know he was lying the moment she asks Kratos about it.]
You're still friends with someone who tried to kill you?
[There's no surprise in the question, despite Zelos's best effort.
He can hope Kratos doesn't remember what happened after the fight, and take a gamble. It didn't work with Raine, but that doesn't mean it can't work here.]
Nah, I don't mind. [Much.] We were fighting a guy who wouldn't have let me into his stronghold if he didn't think I was on his side. And Kratos's son -- Lloyd? He's a terrible liar.
