[Not just the house, either. Lightning herself never wants to think about what she would have done without Noel here...]
[Noel chuckles lightly under his breath and taps the counter with a finger.]
You would have managed, I'm sure. You always do.
[He's being somewhat nonchalant about it but he does smile. It's nice to hear and he likes helping make their lives easier but still... They would have managed.]
[Lightning visibly flinches a little at that. It sounds eerily similar to what she'd said about Lumina earlier, about how she always manages, and while she doesn't think it was intentional, it still makes her tense.
Clearing her throat, Lightning nods.]
By the way. I'd appreciate it if you kept this between us for now... what we talked about.

He gives her a small nod.] I will. I'm sure you have a lot to deal with about it.
