[Those words from Jack are surprising enough to gain a glance, but somehow Zelos can only find himself smiling. A default smile, one that comes with a laugh at the actual surprise of the implication. Think highly? Of him? Why would anyone?
But he finds himself thinking on it a bit longer all the same, a drawn out argument in his head as he leans towards Jack just enough to give something of a playful shoulder nudge in return. Hm.]
What ever gave you that idea? The Great Zelos Wilder, envied by all for his looks, wealth and status of Chosen...
[Ah, but the way he says it is all so clear. So his self esteem issues really shone through like that? How embarrassing. Of course he's going to deny it. Deny it and jokingly talk himself up, all while pointedly addressing the things that he's sure people do envy about him. The things that don't matter at all.
But he wants that to drop, and so after his joking passes, he'll readily answer the question about Seles.]
