Accustomed to Yu leaning as far out as the crook of Lavi's arm allows him, he doesn't bat an eyelash at it, beaming down at both of them with the quiet horror that they might actually have become friends and Lavi will have two people calling him on his lies.

Fortunately, Yu makes it abundantly clear that there's limited chance of that actually happening. New hokk? Doesn't mind if he does. Dropping his arm away from Stein, Lavi accepts the drink with his now free hand, sipping at it thoughtfully. ]

[ Did you want that drink back? He's not offering it. Nor is he giving any direct answer to where he's been.

Sufficed to say, he got lost. ]

[ Just casually keeps hanging off Kanda and stealing his drink. The usual. ]
