It's just a little treat, especially considering the time of year. [ There's a little hum of amusement towards the two of them and their joking, though. She has absolutely been referred to as a kitchen witch before.
Letting the boys seat themselves, she takes her own mug of hot chocolate and places the now-empty tray on the coffee table between them, settling herself on the sofa close to Peter. She'll ask Robby how the wards are holding at his home, if everything seems alright. If there's been any instances where it might seem some of them could be wavering in strength. She's more than happy to come over again to redo some of them if need be! Oh, and also very importantly: ]
Is the marshmallow alright? I'm still perfecting the recipe.
[ And then there's Peter outburst, and her head turns towards him — the smile is subtle but she catches the tightness in it. Very carefully, she places her hand on Peter's knee — giving it a brief squeeze of support. Honestly, she knows fine well how much he's out of his comfort zone with this — as he often is with anything concerning Paimon.
She inhales softly, turning her head back to Robby: ]
I can tell if he's present. It's still kind of something I'm practising, but I can see him. Like he's looking at me. [ Because that doesn't sound unnerving in the slightest. ] ... But I thought it would be a good idea to not put him to sleep for this, considering we're all talking about him. It wouldn't seem fair to ask him to leave.
[ She can, however, ask Paimon if there's something more private to be discussed. But hopefully they can have this conversation without needing that. ]
I think it's good Peter's told you about him. I'm glad. It's very brave of him. It's not very easy to talk about— [ An understatement. There's a pinch of apology in her expression towards Robby. ] it's why I had to be so vague back when Peter was in the Sleeper Cocoon. I didn't want to expose Peter's situation to everyone.
