If Kratos had been trying to help, his words do exactly the opposite. They stab deep into something inside of Lloyd, twisting painfully.
Nothing to gain from being his dad, from having Lloyd for a son.
He doesn't want Kratos to be his dad, but that doesn't stop the words from hurting. Father or not, he'd once looked up to the man, once sought his approval, felt warm whenever the older swordsman had spoken a word of praise. To be hit with words like that...
He only has one defense against the sudden pain from those words, and that's to let his temper flare.]
You're right, of course there isn't anything to gain! Not unless you're trying to convince me to follow in your footsteps and join Cruxis with you! Or maybe you don't want me trying to stop you, because if it's me dad who's trying to take Colette away, what can I do against him? That's all you care about anyway, right? It's not like you care about me, or anyone but Yggdrasill and yourself!
