[Give a curious teen free reign to play with a computer all he wants, especially after seeing other people using one, and see if he doesn't pick a few things up. He's by no means proficient, but he's at least at a point now where he can respond to people if he wants (and when he bothers to check these things). And hey, no risk of crashing into a mountain if he doesn't get it right! Always a plus for practicing!
Speaking of practicing, a look flashes across his face when Kratos asks about his training. You know that look. It's the look of a student whose teacher just asked if he studied for a test. Or did his homework. Or anything. That look, like a deer caught in a hunter's sights, the one that says 'aw crap.']
Well, uh... a little? [Quick, damage control, how can he make this sound not so bad?] I haven't sparred with anyone, but I've done a little by myself.
[Not a lie. For a few days after he'd challenged Zack, Lloyd had gone through a few routines so he'd be ready in case Zack found a sword fairly soon. But no word from Zack meant that his resolve to practice was soon distracted by all the other things there were to do.
