(That little moment of sincere honesty makes Lucretia smile, and properly this time too, in the way that only her friends can get her to smile.)
Well, thank you. (She slumps back against the couch cushions with her arms folded comfortingly across herself, shoulder pressed to Lup's. This is the most... normal she's felt in a while. The decision on what plan to stick to had upset her enough to have her forgoing any interaction with the others afterwards and before all of that had gone down, they hadn't exactly been kicking back and relaxing. Ever since they got past the eighty-something mark, the Hunger had tightened its resolve: really stuck its head down and worked to get to them. The lights were getting harder and harder to find. They were all so tired. Lucretia can't remember the last time she'd just sat with somebody and drank for fun instead of out of obligation, or in an attempt to forget about something she'd seen.
God, how dark. She gives her head a little shake to clear it of those particular thoughts, mirroring Lup's gesture. Lup's right. They don't need to get into this now: they have time. And she's done her time today, with Taako, with Magnus, and Merle. Lup, too.)
I do like it. You– this is really helpful, you know? Um, (and she casts about for another word, gesturing in the air with one hand,) cathartic. You ground me, Lup. You always have, and I appreciate it. It's cool.
