Fine. [they easily drop it and seem to be looking in the direction of the soup instead. their posture seems to straighten a little, pulling back slightly to be more upright and removing any indication of a slouch. lup can pick a topic.]
[they don't appear to be prompted to start conversation again, letting this soup cook before lup speaks up again. so they will turn silently to grab two bowls, setting them on the counter.
this is so funny. lup is watching them with a little bit of a thoughtful look on her face. once they've served themselves, though, she'll get like one ladleful of soup for herself and proceed to just play with it with her spoon.]
... Have you run one of these before? These games.
[they don't answer right away, but that's because they are immediately eating this soup. like. several spoonfuls. they apparently were hungrier than anticipated.]
Our job does not permit us to discuss matters that may have occurred in the past in this hotel.
That won't be necessary. [but they also do not entirely sound like they mean it.] I'm sure if these trials continue, you'll have a lot to occupy your time. As will I.
Oh, and I will! Don't you worry about that. I keep telling the eight of you that you're never going to hear the end of it from me and somehow you don't believe me.

Here. It's done. [she says finally, tapping the side of the pot. they can have some. maybe it's a bit of an apology.]
no subject
this is soup for both of them apparently.]
Thank you.
no subject
[she glances at the second bowl, and like... takes it, but doesn't fill it. gemini can go first.]
no subject
they also still aren't saying anything else, so this is going well for everyone. they have the sense to grab spoons though.]

[she's watching them fondly, now.] Don't choke, bud.

I'm sure you'll come to your own conclusions regardless of the answer, but my initial answer stands.
no subject
[a beat.]
Am I going to have to feed you after every trial?
no subject

Hmmm, but you have to answer me if I call! [they do not.]

I won't. I'M not that fickle. Finish your soup, Gemini.
no subject
[but okay fine.
this is good soup.]
no subject
That's a pretty rude fact to assume! [a beat.] Good?
no subject
...it's delicious. Thank you again. I imagine you'll be busy keeping everyone else fed for the time being.
no subject
[a beat.] Go get some rest, okay? You mind if I come see you tomorrow too, or do you want a break from me?
no subject
If you are in need of something tomorrow, I can make time available.
[so no, they don't mind.]

Take some time for yourself before attending to the rest, M--Lup. We'll meet again tomorrow.
