Don't worry, I get what you mean. [He would have been sad but quietly accepted it in lieu of showing his pain. Maxima was that kind of respectful guy. Enough that it made Lighter a little concerned sometimes.
It was a bit weird for Lorenzo to get this close with someone. He wasn't a guy to mince words ever but he tried not to be a total asshole to people who don't deserve it. Just preferred to tell people what they need to hear.]
It's good to have someone you don't have to think as hard with. I'm glad I can be the guy you don't have dance around things with.
[It's fine. He can handle and process hurt all by himself. He's had to get really good at doing that. Which is completely fine.]
As am I. [He smiles encouragingly at Lighter, and then stretches a bit, wincing at all the scrapes and bruises the movement pulls on.] ...A shower, I think, first. Then I'll help you clean up around here.

Good idea. We... made a real mess of the place huh?
[And each other. Only stated as a matter of fact, not with any regret. If anything he sounded impressed and satisfied.]
