"I'm plenty alive," Zephyr says lazily, but it's the sort of casual laziness that's more defense mechanism than anything else. "What am I going to do if I'm not here, karaoke? Pass, thanks." He doesn't really have very many other friends -- though he should probably check in on the Fool, if no one else -- and his leisure activities involve, a lot of the time, being very lazy in a hot spring or a tree.

He hasn't done much of those, of late. Too much thinking time.

For the rest, though, he wasn't expecting Devin to actually call him on that. Zephyr's expression goes flat, unimpressed. "I was being ironic," he returns, at least half to see if Devin will accept it. "You've heard of sarcasm, I assume."
