[i see we're both playing the same character type of "it's hard to tell when they're in love so we have to do our best about it"
Despite the bit of extra softness, he does not clock anything unusual here, simply giving her hand a very gentle squeeze as he leads the way off of the train.]
Shall I accompany you on the train more often, then?
[THIS ONE'S FOR YOU YAYWON, WHO'S CURRENTLY GOING INSANE...
He just huffs out a tiny little laugh, though.]
I'm the one who's blessed with your company, and yet you're still kind enough to say such things... I really am going to be spoiled.
[TO THE MANOR, THOUGH. Lucas will lead the way through and to his room where there is just so much bullshit. Marcoh's bigass bed. Shud's cute house. A tall-ass table. And his altar! It's just a mini-altar that's been decorated with candles and ugly garlands.]
[ the peanuts are really going through it.... i try to be so nice and they still get belligerent
something about what he says makes her feel so warm, all fluttery. ]
I want to spoil you any chance I get, Lucas. I'll bless you whenever I can, so I hope you don't get tired of it anytime soon.
[ the interior decorating dissonance of this room.... elysia can be a menace, but she won't comment on that.... instead, she focuses on this small altar. ]
It's simple but delightful. If it holds meaning, isn't that what's more important?
[IT REALLY IS JUST THE BELLIGERENT PEANUT ERA RIGHT NOW my god
The laugh that follows her very heartfelt declaration is light and airy, but there's some warmth to it all the same. He may not be in love with her, but he appreciates the kindness.]
How could anyone at all ever grow tired of blessings from you, my dear?
[Couldn't be his ass!! But he'll move over to the altar, inviting her to come join him as he sits and sets his flowers on the floor before it.]
I'd like to think so, at least, even if it's a bit silly-looking compared to the more grandiose ones out there. I do enjoy it very much, though. [Patting it fondly...]
Oh? Perhaps it's you all whom the gods have smiled upon, then?
[Said a little faintly teasingly. Being smiled upon by the gods is a lovely thing! He would definitely know!
But he'll lift up one of the garlands, nodding.]
He did a very good job, even though it must surely have been a bit difficult. I can understand, a bit... I've always been clumsy with things that require a level of small detail-work.

there's a small pause before she says in a softer voice: ]
But... it's easier next to you.

[Mostly a bit joking.]

I could never refuse you. Your company is always welcome.

[ if she were back home, anyway. being in love in a false timeline doesn't take her ego away.
joins him, she does. ]
You kept so many of the garlands you made.
no subject
[If only he had been granted Elysia's blessings instead of the batshit insane blessings of a cold and distant god, damn.
He reaches out to touch one of the garlands, laughing just a bit.]
I was practicing with Marcoh, so we ended up with quite a few to spare... I've been leaving them down at the memorial.

[ sometimes, the gacha game lets you grant buffs for reasons, but lucas really would be better off if he had elysia's blessings. ]
That's cute.... A nice bonding activity between you two. How small they must have looked in his hands....

Wouldn't we be lucky if we were all smiled upon?
[ said just as lightly.
she reaches over to pick up and look at one of the other misshapen garlands. ]
Hm? That's kind of cute... your weakness doesn't match up with how you hold yourself.
no subject
[Exception for demons who do not deserve to be smiled upon by God.
But! He looks faintly embarrassed at the comment... NOT HIS WEAKNESS.]
It does feel as though I should have improved more after all of this time...
no subject
[ she isn't actually hoping much for that even though she's all about hope.
she thinks his embarrassment is so cute... ]
Aww, I think it adds to your charm, my dear Lucas. It's nice to see your different sides.
no subject
[He does not care for this god as much as his own, but he does still want to have some faith. They've been kind to him...
But he just laughs a little, holding some of the flowers out.]
Thank you for being kind enough to think so. Why don't you show me how you make yours again? Maybe I'll do better this time.
no subject
Your diligence will pay off someday. I'm not the best either, but how could I refuse you?
[ she will show him, and you can be set free from this thread. ]
