Oh... thank you, Yoru. [ he will reach down to take the plate from the most perfect boy in the world and then give kon a grateful smile. ] This smells really good, Kon - thank you. I think we probably have a few sets of chopsticks, if it's that good of a recreation.
[ lu bixing laughs a little, scrubbing his hand down his face, and then gives kon a matching, wry smile. ] Besides... for right now, we're the hosts, so, I better be good at it.
[ he watches yoru toddle off to go check on their injured, folding his left arm across his body and rubbing his hand against his own side in lieu of the missing right arm. ]
Practice for when we get out of here and you have a bunch of us couch surfing in your neck of the multiverse.
[ a little huff of approval at the quote, and... well, he does seem a little happy at that, too, finally leaning back against his couch and sinking into the floor somewhere near where lin jingheng is. ]
Is it jinxing it to say I'm excited for it? [ like, if everything wasn't terrible forever right now, he'd be extremely happy. it's funny; the last time his house was this full, it was with a lot of extremely nerdy engineers who were celebrating the day they finally got zhanlu online, almost a decade ago. ] It's been a while.
[ he smiles, a little wistfully, taking a cup of milk tea for himself and holding it in his hands. ] I have so many projects I want to put you on.
[ which, in some ways, is confirming the same - the i'm not giving up on busting out of hell. they've got a party to go to! so. ] I can't wait to see what you can do in a real lab, with real tech. Maybe we can sneak Zhanlu away to look at his mech core when Lin's not paying attention.
[ his voice is quiet, when he confesses this. lu bixing knows why, and he knows he doesn't have to clarify, but he does kick a leg a little to bounce his heel against the back of the couch as he huffs softly. ]
Not enough to disrupt my neck of the woods. Can't break things. But just enough. [ the fidgeting stills again. ] But - I think I'd lose my mind if I got to look at a real, genuine mech core. We can probably distract him if you make moon eyes at him.
Well, I'll have two of them, so, maybe they'll be more effective.
[ he laughs a little, goofy as he taps underneath his patched lack of eye, but it's got a little deeper meaning to it, right? he doesn't really need to clarify, and the joke fades as he gives kon a warmer, softer smile. ]

[ yoru gets a pat on the head also. ]

[ they can just spoon feed it to thancred and gideon it's fine. but he just shrugs a little as yoru wibbles up at lu bixing with the pat. ]
Figured I didn't want to dogpile the medical care, might as well help in the one way I know I can always do.

Spoon feeding it is... [ god. it's a little levity from a very stressful day. ] I think comfort food's a great idea - thank you.

that makes him smile, a little wry and crooked, but a smile nonetheless. ]
You're doing a lot, already, so I'm happy to help.

[ as lu bixing sits, he moves to lean against the back of the couch instead, shifting his weight forward enough that he can half-perch on it. ]
But I'm not giving up on busting out of Hell, still. So I want something to look forward to.
