[ It's a thought process Lapis understands; there's been... a lot of mulling over the last few days. Regrets and what ifs that could've been left unsaid, if Eizen and Blade really did pass away. It's not something she wants to repeat. She's so... tired of squashing feelings away, as if they don't exist, no matter how terrifying or nerve-wrecking they may be.
She wants to be a person again, not something the Order used to spill blood. And after their conversation before, when they came back from the library, she has a chance at that. A chance he's helped open up for her.
So she deals with how brightly she's blushing, how it only burns all the more as he speaks and brushes his thumb against her cheek. She simply lets out a shaky breath and smiles, actually smiles, up at him. ]
Of course I'd like to. There's nothing else I want more.
[ But... Actions over words have always been her forte, and there's a certain spark in her eyes now as she reaches up - tugging gently on the collar of his shirt so he'll lean down. ]
