[His attention, expression soft even through lifeless eyes and a permanent rigid grin, gets her to glance away again and chew at her lip. It still tastes a little like lentils and tomato. She wonders if she's got food on her face like a clueless idiot, and if she hadn't already been blushing a little at his thanks, that would have gotten her. Oh god? What if she's got food on her face like a clueless idiot?? How could he possibly make that sort of face at her when she looks like that?]
Um.
[She'd almost rather brush it aside, especially since her worries have moved on from sentimentality, but go figure, it's something she cares about and is pretty happy that it's something Teo obviously cares about, too, for his own reasons. Being able to share that piece of herself and accept his in turn was really nice! And here she is getting distracted about potential sauce face. The worst. Her elbow, belated but gentle, returns the bump.]
Yeah. ...Yeah.
[She manages one of her little smiles again, the kind that suggested she was keeping a bigger one secret beneath it, before trotting on ahead a bit to a door that doesn't look as cozy as the others and had a wider opening.]
Maintenance! Um, there is a guy in the corner...
[A body that she can't tell was alive or undead when it was killed, and it wasn't really her business. She's here for housekeeping carts! Letting Teo know seemed...polite?]
