Nose lifting into the air again once she does it! Body practically puffing under her claws! Thaaaat's right -- ...! Whaddya think? That sound like a good way to start the day -- ?!
...Eyes... widening when she makes that face again. Mouth taking on the shape of a triangle. What... did he say...
-- Ohh, pff --
Eyes fall again. Coughs out an oh, please kind of pffhhuhhuhhuh...
...Before he draws his grin back out. Punctuates this dusting-out with another boost-and-sink of his brow.]
... -- Think of it as takin' one for the team -- ...!
[...Getting himself a coffee, he means.
Fact of the matter is, actually, that he's getting a bit bolder. He's kind of been meaning to try this for a while! It's just been -- y'know, slipping his mind. You hit a point of developing an oversensitive vampire stomach and it's difficult to really recover a long-since lost investment in seeing what you can eat and drink.
The whole horumonyaki advent, however! It's gotten him into kind of a state of I wonder...!
My stomach just need some time to toughen itself back up?
And this is a good excuse to get experimentin' outta the way! C'mon, he's getting coffee. It's all liquid! If it makes him sick, he can, I dunno... pop into a bathroom while they're out or something and be good in... probably just about ten minutes!
It's probably not gonna be hard for Ibuki to guess that that's what's going on, either! Considering, one, Lucas isn't really the... "take one for the team" type of guy, for its own sake, especially considering furthermore him having a cup of coffee doesn't... actually benefit her in any way.]

Him getting used to having coffee benefits her in a lot of ways! Like, for one, he's a vampire - surely that means the caffeine would hit his system faster than it would otherwise, right? More awake faster and sooner means more time to play!
Not only that, but if he can drink coffee (or tea!), that means taking him to cafes instead of going alone, like she's mostly been doing this whole time. She does take him to cafes if they offer something... vampire-esque that he can enjoy, but otherwise?
It's easier to just go on her own to try all the treats they've got.
That said, though, she starts to straighten herself back up - stopping half-way to stretch her knees with her palms against them, complete with a little "mmmmh!"-sound of exertion - and stands up tall, stretching her arms behind her head to match...
Before smiling down at him with her hands on her hips. All sorts of ready to go.]
Okie dokie, then -
If you're really going to "take one for the team", then I'm ready when you are, big cat!
... Or maybe "big rat"?
Maybe you should change back so Ibuki doesn't get stuck on that...
[... At least she's self-aware.]
no subject
...And if she's actually considering them on her own end, good on her, because god knows he's not. 8)b Even now that he has gotten back to a lifestyle that involves some form of sleep cycle, the idea of actually being able to take caffeine again is just a... "hey, I used to like this thing! Let's experiment with trying to have it again!" frivolity.
He... grimaces a little bit, as she gets up? Kind of, considering his rat face? The area around his eyes tensing, teeth showing in a faintly warped shape. Whiskers twitching with one twitch likewise of his nose. Paws his way against her leg to go back from huggin' to propping himself up.
It rests out when she smiles.
...And twists hard right up into a grin...! He wheezes a few laughs through his teeth...! Pushes off further back onto all fours...!
Before with a woosh, there 'e is in front of her lookin' back down a her from a head above again.
His head lolls aside as his eyes widen. Grabs her paw, swings it between them a couple of times as he begins to turn. With a faint tug at her arm. His other one, as well, swings with pent-up charge.]
-- So whaddya think -- you wanna pick up a couple more TOYS while we're out, too?!
[Punctuated by a higher swing-up of his arm, palm up. "SHALL WE?"]
Play with aaall the li'l LIZARDS 'n all that again -- !
[Just filtering and whining tapered into his nose before snuffing.
...Also, oh. You. Meant those kinds of toys.]
