[But the real question is, which one's more important: looking cool, or a sword? :3
Lloyd hesitates before answering. Dirk, his adoptive father, used to drive it home that this wasn't something he should just talk about. On the other hand, Lloyd's gotten used to people knowing about things like this, to the point that he hasn't bothered hiding the Exsphere on his hand in quite a while now. Besides, Zack already seems to know about Exspheres, too, and he seems like a really nice guy. Would there really be a problem with showing it to him?
Coming to a conclusion based more on a gut feeling than anything else, Lloyd holds up his left hand for Zack to see. Without his glove on, the small, rounded gem set into the metal plate that's apparently attached directly to his skin should stand out, plain and clear to see.]
Yeah. We call them Exspheres in my world.
[Similar to a piece of materia? Maybe. But it isn't the exact same thing. Even beyond the differences in how they're made, Exspheres really only amplify mana, making someone capable of more than they were before by boosting their natural talents. They can't just grant someone entirely new spells and skills. Whether or not Zack can pick up on those differences, though...?
A little less serious, Lloyd nudges Zack with his elbow.]

Of course it is. We're an evil pie fighting team!
