Lilith is looked back at with errant disdain, but it’s only superficial. And that grumpiness softens when he gets the details. “Blights. A homunculus? Shit fire, I’d be a mess, too, if I didn’t really have an identity to call my own.”
Upon being told he can leave his problems at the door, he laughs dryly, humorlessly. “Fuck. Wish I could. We wouldn’t be having this little chat if it were that simple.” He wouldn’t be having such a conniption if it were that simple.
But of course, Lilith would use it to proposition him, and that falsely cranky glare becomes a little more genuine. “Is this really the time to try and get in whatever you’re trying to get into of mine, Lily? I don’t think so.”
“Well, Here’s hoping Motz time to himself will help him then, yes?” Lilith smiles.
Then Lilith pinches Teddy’s nose. “Now, now! Not all of the activities I’m thinking of are sexual in nature! Goodness, Theo! You’re just as bad as the anons!” Their tone was joking but... At the same time...
“Though. To your credit they could all be considered Lustful at their base. That being my desire for your happiness!” They aren’t really offended, though.
“I’m doing my best to help and you push aside my generous offer to help by assuming i’m trying to get into something? How dare. Other than perhaps getting, metaphorically, into your heart all my intentions at this moment are pure as a demon’s can be!” Which, to Lilith’s credit, was perhaps saying quite a lot.
“The other... more physical getting into just.... all depended on how you were feeling, but I can see other than getting into light trouble you aren’t interested in anything else.” They pull their hands away from him and tuck them under their arms.
“So, What would you have me do, then? From this moment until I see you smile I shall be at your beck and call.”
