"I have no idea what that means," Lapis says blandly. There's never a bad time to keep a running joke going. A moment later, though, she takes the hand -- it can't last long, she's going to need some serious alone time with a strong personal bubble after all this, but the gesture exists and is good. And, more gently, she adds, "Thank you."

Steven just keeps doing this kind of thing for her, man.

It's pretty much the answer that he expected, and it brings some more fondness to his smile.

As she takes his hand and thanks him, he answers softly, "I'm just glad I could help." He knows this isn't the end of Lapis's personal problems, but pulling her away from the cycle of Malachite feels like a significant step. And most importantly, it's putting a stop to Lapis's immediate suffering!

With that, leading Lapis by the hand, he turns back the way he came.
