Malos says core crystal, but Lloyd's mind screams exspheres.
A stone holding the essence of a being's life? He's seen them, held them, broke them, stopped them from being produced - it's not an exsphere, Malos implies, but Lloyd fights off a wince at the similarities between the two.
But maybe, Lloyd's mind supplies as he stares at the exsphere on his left hand, he's just thinking too hard about it. Maybe these - blades, as Malos called them, don't work like people with exspheres and cruxis crystals do, maybe core crystals aren't produced the same, and aren't as awful as exspheres are. Maybe they act like cruxis crystals without the side-effects -
The necklace stuffed under his shirt burns on his skin, the way it tends to do when Lloyd thinks about cruxis or the crystals associated with them. He ignores it, instead rubbing at his left wrist with a little more force than usual. It's fine. Figure out more about this world, don't worry about yourself, or your home. We're here for Sheena.
"So... You're a blade? You're not exactly sword-shaped, y'know," Lloyd jokes, glancing again at Malos' core crystal. He shifts on the floor, stretching his legs out in front of him, "What's the difference between you and a human? Is everyone on this world a blade?"
