[it's a generous offer -- perhaps she ought to consider how generous it is, considering the sort of man Guzma tries to be. Lucina's still in a bit of a haze, however, and she only nods, turning to face the sea of celebration ahead of her. it's easier to stare down when she starts to spy familiar faces, however...and more palatable once she gets some food in her. after that mysterious span of days with just tepid water and vending machine fare? a burger is about as close to heavenly as she's tasted, and it does a lot to perk her up. simple, animal needs, right?
it means she has more stamina to speak with friends -- to get rid of some of her armor, thanks to Archie. to get a little encouragement from Darin (and...even some bit of a blessing? that leaves her with a little flip of the stomach). to see for herself that the people she cares about are still hale and whole. a bit worse for wear, but...still here.
being crowded by civilians takes a toll, however, and Lucina doesn't last long in all the smothering. she withdraws after a couple hours or so back to where she had left Guzma's side...finding him absent, dragged off by Darin for their little pow-wow.
she swallows against an uneasy feeling that wells up and passes over her. there's no more fighting to be done, and he said...]
I'm going to make my way back to Maurtia Falls.
[she sighs, sending the message before giving one more look around, just to see if she can glimpse him before giving up the evening for good...]
