[Lup doesn't need to be thanked, so she shoos Lucretia's words away with a wave of her hand before she's reaching for the wine. There's too many emotions up in this tiny apartment, Lup is ready to just get buzzed with her friend and put the unpleasantness of the day behind them. At least for tonight. Tomorrow they can make a few more plans. She can show Lucretia around town, tell her all of the places to visit, the ones to avoid. Point out the people on the network that Lup's already formed relationships with and has come to trust at least slightly. Point out the ones she doesn't trust at all.

She'll do what she can to help prepare her friend, because this place wasn't going to make it easy to adjust to. Lup knew that from experience.]

When is it ever all good? I can take it, no problem. [Some parts may be more difficult to digest than others, but Lup's already had her big once-a-decade emotional breakdown with Taako over this shit. She's feeling pretty confident she can go for round two and not cry this time.

Lucretia's sigh just drags Lup's attention back to her side at the other woman. She elbows her in the side and passes the wine back over.] Let's put that talk away for now. Chat about something less depressing. Like how great a friend I am for bringing you a housewarming gift.
