[ it is a choice he'd make again in a heartbeat, a choice he wouldn't be afraid to make if it meant that lapis would live - that those he cares most about in this damn world would live safe and happy lives. but he keeps that to himself and buries it deep with the memories of zaveid's horrified face the day he let the malevolence finally take him.
he manages a crooked smile as she leans back, eyes red from the tears, the hand he had running through her hair moving to help wipe some of the tears from her face - only to hover stiff in the air expression shifting into mocked pain. ]
Ha, I'll consider myself lucky you're too tired. [ a soft laugh and he brushes tears from her cheeks, before leaning back. ] Want some tea?
[ There's a sniff as he wipes the rest of her tears away, absolutely not pouting at the show of mock pain. But she deflates quickly enough, nodding as she rubs a hand against her eyes - ugh, they're going to be so swollen later... ]
Do you need any help? [ It's hard to stay angry, seeing him smile and laugh like that. In the end, she's glad she still has more time with him. ]
You can grab some cups from the cabinet over there.
[ he nods towards the cabinet in question, grabbing the boiled kettle from nearby and moving to the teapot. ]
Hope you don't mind lemon and mint. I haven't gone shopping in a while and it's all I've got.
[ considering that he doesn't need to eat or drink to survive, it's easy to forget to do things like buy food and drinks and the like. doesn't help that he can't just go to the store anytime he wants, most people can't see him even if he were to stand directly in their field of vision. ]
[ There's a brief nod in response, before Lapis turns and reaches for the cabinet - taking a moment to look for the cups before pulling them out. ]
Mm, I don't mind. [ Though... yeah, she imagines he wouldn't have much around the house, since he doesn't need to eat and drink like most people. And it's not as if he can simply go shopping either, with the whole being invincible to normal people thing. ]
If you want anything in particular, I can go get it for you. [ Even if going outside messed with her nerves a little - the only reason she managed the trip here was mostly thanks to being fueled by a combination of anger and wanting to see him. Maybe she could ask Jinwoo if he would go shopping with her...
But she'll bring the cups over now, ready to help with anything else if he needs it. ]
