He doesn't really blame Malos for his lingering confusion though. The processes and concepts he's describing don't sound like they could be easily explainable - he'd probably have just as much luck trying to explain it even if he were knowledgable. But he trucks on anyways, tries not to show on his face that he only really understands like, a fraction of what was said, and files it all away for later. Maybe Sheena knows more about all of this. When he finds her he'll ask.
(He makes sure to use "when" instead of "if". His chest tightens with fear over her missing status, and he really, really misses her.)
Blinking back to reality, Lloyd catches onto something implied in Malos' explanations. Resonance, is it like an emotional link between a blade and a driver? Or is it something else? If his mother was adopted by Malos because she resonated with him, Lloyd imagines it has to be. But then - why did Anna resonate with Malos? Why was he in a position to adopt her -
Oh. Something clicks within Lloyd's mind. Was Anna an orphan? Like he thought he was (and really, still is, with Kratos lost to space) all this time?
A feeling like dark kinship settles in Lloyd's stomach. He feels awful, would never wish losing someone's parents on anyone, but... Knowing that he and his mother both had to suffer through that makes him a little more sure that maybe they'll understand each other better than he feared when they finally meet.
After a few moments of silence, he glances up at Malos. "Thank you for the explanation!" He says, and he means it. "I can work with it, I think. I'm sure I'll learn as I make my way around here."
He stands up, offering a hand to Malos with a smile. "Sorry for breaking in, but. I'm really glad I got to meet you. I gotta get going so I can find my friend, assuming all of the soldiers running around are gone."
