[HEWWO... It is significantly later in the night and Lucas has had plenty of time to scrape his sad shit back together! He's hanging out at the cafe not me typing cage first and seated at one of the tables, just kind of looking off into the distance. He is always slightly dissociated so that's probably fine.
Still, he'll nod whenever he spots Zhongli. Hewwo.]
[ hewwo stinker... zhongli doesn't seem surprised to see him still kind of out of it, all things considered, but he will ease an empty chair across from him back and lower himself to sit. a deep cut across his face has been healing, scarring at this point in heaven's recovery room process, but otherwise all is unfried and whole. ]
Apologies not necessary. You went through quite the ordeal, this weekend, so it comes as no surprise. How are you feeling, now?
[He is so glad to see Zhongli unfried and whole even tho i aki was just gone that wholeass horrific trial. My god. But his head cants to the side a bit at that.]
Alright, thank you. All of my injuries appear to be gone, more or less...
[Which is nice since he kept terminatoring around on his cyoa injuries and so they just haven't been healing very well.]
Thank god though he needs those faster healies, even though he heals quite fast on his own already.]
I won't lie and pretend that wasn't a difficult trial to endure, but I've already improved and I'm certain I will continue to. Thank you for asking, though.
There's a bit of a pause, but only a bit of one. This Lucas does not have the Catholic Guilt™ of scawwy Lucas, so he doesn't think he's a spooky feral beast, despite fake Nadia. He'll reach out to delicately place his hand in Zhongli's. It is truly hilarious how dainty he is when he just crushes people like grapes (literal) about it.]
Is that so? [Faintly, gently amused.] Well. I imagine that this interfering force was not a part of the considerations.
the pause doesn't surprise him, but zhongli is patient, and has his fair share of actual spooky feral beasts - in control of themselves and not. so all he does when lucas sets his hand in his is fold his other hand over top, offering solidarity, reassurance, a reminder that he is there and real. still seen, despite everything he did. ]
No, hardly so. But we had been disconnected from even before Viktor - ah, Harold - arrived, which was when we did on the other side, weeks ago.
But he will accept the gesture and the warmth that accompanies it, even though he just kind of stares at their hands for a quiet moment. He is still seen. He's too seen, actually. He would like to be seen less. But then he's looking back up at Zhongli as he explains.]
I see... ...He's just been here this whole time, then? Hopefully with the other angels, at least.

That's good to hear. [ but. he has to ask: ] And in less physical aspects, Lucas?
[ the terminatoring around on cyoa injuries is real and a mood for him too but at least the gyd lets you heal faster....... ]

there's a little bit of a frown at that, but... he'll offer him a hand across the table, palm-up, golden-skinned. ]
This place was intended for healing, although it was not meant to be quite so full, as far as I've understood.
