[She hums in response, resting her elbows up on the table and her chin propped up against her balled fists. Her right ear twitching periodically. He's right, the small mammal test is probably fine, and honestly there probably isn't even a difference besides just the size of the test.
Honestly...if anything, after all this regardless of the results, she's going to want to speak to Gosha about this. But it still feels weird to reach out to Legosi's grandpa on her own. A relationship between a reptile and mammal must have been more unpredictable than two mammals after all.
She's so distracted by her thoughts that it takes her a second to register Legosi's question. Not even noticing the oppressing silence, or how intensely she's been staring at the test that remains relatively blank. A faint outline of some shape is starting but--
Oh, she should respond, shouldn't she?]
No, I'm good. [...another second or two. Still nothing. And, realizing Legosi's question was probably more for him and less for her, she looks away from the test and at him.] Oh! Um, actually [she stands] Let me get you some tea! We still have some bottles in the fridge.
[Her enthusiasm is unintentional and forced, and she hurriedly (nervously) heads back to the kitchenette, grabbing a bottle of cold green tea and making her way back to him.
And instead of sitting across from him she takes her seat directly next to him, thigh touching his for comfort and contact as she hands him the bottle.]
It...uh. Feels like we're waiting for lottery results, in a way. [an awkward laugh] I'm kind of hoping... [...what...is she hoping for? She doesn't want to get her hopes up, that lends itself to disappointment, and she doesn't want to make herself or him upset. But then again...] um it's...I want a family with you.
Thinking about raising a kid, especially one who's like you, it makes me happy. [Now that she's aware of the silence, she wants to fill it, glancing again at the test which feels like it's taking its sweet time figuring what shape it wants to take.] So no matter the result I just wanted you to know how I'm feeling.
