[Kratos had been about to hang up, honestly. He's reached the point in the conversation where he's mostly speculating to himself, or so he thought. Zelos starts talking, and he keeps talking. If someone had told him last night that he'd be having a heart-to-heart with Tethe'alla's Chosen, he probably would have thought that they were the one who'd had one too many drinks instead of Lloyd. It's not as if he likes Zelos - in fact, he has an intense dislike of the man that he's become, even if he pities the child that he once was. What he's saying now makes sense, though...
Is it really that simple? If he just tells Lloyd honestly how he feels, will that be enough? It seems almost unfair. It wasn't intentional, but he did abandon him. And yes, he'd had no choice but to behave how he did regarding Mithos, but he knows that the "betrayal" he had acted out hurt Lloyd deeply. He can't be forgiven just with honesty, can he?
Part of him doesn't even want to be forgiven.]
Is that all? It hardly seems adequate after... everything.
[Where would he even start? How do you begin a conversation like that?!]
