[Ah... well, he supposes he couldn't have hoped to hide it for very long anyway. He doesn't want to admit it, because she'll almost certain be upset. But he doesn't want to feel like he's lying to her, either. She's already been so concerned on his behalf, and knowing she's a dear friend to his comrades-- she deserves to know just like they do.
So he smiles and gently shakes his head.]
No, that's not necessary. I'm just having a little trouble with my hand, but I can manage.
There's a clear look of surprise on her face before she immediately moves to stand then. She takes the box of dango next to her and puts it on the table, opening it.]
What kind of idiot... Here, have this! I-I hope this is the one you like.
[And she's already going to walk off to the kitchen to retrieve the rest of the tea. STUPID NAMA.
She'll... ask about his hand in a moment, she will. But for now this is the first thing that she thinks to do?! Thanks Lili.]
[Wh-- no, dango gifts and then she's ignoring him and then ahhhh nooooo but she's a guest! He's being rude... even though he can't help it, he still feels bad.
Namazuo likes any and all dango, but he isn't going to start stuffing his face while she's busy helping him out!! So instead he's careful to arrange the sticks so that they're split evenly between them, half for her and half for him. As soon as she comes back, he turns, hovering.]
I'm sorry, I should've had it set out before you arrived.
Lili's just going to huff then, shooting him a rather irritated glare even as she has the tray with his cup and the teapot all balanced since you know what? Yeah! She has two hands! So she's going to return to her spot across from him at the table, setting everything down and carefully pouring his tea before putting it front of him.]
Are you truly that much of an idiot?
You should have said something if you're injured! It's more irritating that you're trying to take care of everything yourself.
[DON'T BE MAD AT HIM LILI... Namazuo looks suitably pathetic right about now, like he'd be wringing his hands in distress if he could. He sinks down into his spot, looking at her through his bangs.]
[Worried, that is?! Except she kind of is and she knows it's a lie so the complete word doesn't make it out of her mouth, not really. Not when Namazuo's right there and she can never admit when she's worried about someone right to their face unless she's already terribly distressed.
But now is not one of those moments and the way that he sinks down is annoying - and sad and pathetic and... she knows that he is none of those things.
So she frowns a little bit then and shakes her head firmly.]
Stop this... Lift your head. I may be your guest but you're injured right now - what kind of person would I be if I just ignored that? You.... [You died - and she cuts herself off, choked up by sudden emotion again before shaking her head once more, more firmly this time.]
You're right, I'm sorry. I'm just-- not accustomed to this sort of thing.
[To having wounds that can't be instantly healed--physical ones, anyway. To being weak and vulnerable where everyone can see it. To feeling stifled and alone all at once, without the warmth of his brothers' embrace to hide in.
He hesitates, then looks up, meeting her gaze. For once, he actually looks his age, his own eyes dark and tired.]
Lili-san? The things they tell us about our home worlds... do you believe them?
[To... being hurt in this form? Lili's not sure what he's not accustomed to, but she's quiet and nods once shortly. A silent acceptance of his apology even though her words that follow don't immediately answer his question:]
Only apologize for trying to hide it... It's just causes more trouble, that's all.
[But she's. Not mad. Frustrated and worried, but not mad. Then she gives his question a thought and frowns.]
... I don't want to. So I don't.
[She's.
Really simple - but also the idea of losing her family and loved ones like that.... could she really go on if that's the truth?]
