[Lapis can't really remember the last time she was this close to someone, anyone besides her sister - but it's nice, to be able to show and be given this kind of affection by someone. It makes it easy to relax, which is why another soft giggle escapes her at his response, watching with a warm and amused smile as she sees his lashes droop once more.

It's almost cute, in a way, and so her smile lingers as he leans back into the cushions - keeping her own fingers loosely curled around his still. His words prompting a tilt of her head, her smile becoming less of a playful one and one full of warmth. Huffing an amused sound in response, curling her fingers a bit tighter around his in a gentle squeeze.]

Well, I'm glad you find it peaceful here. And I would be a bad host if I sent you away when you're starting to nod off. You're always welcome to stay here as long as you want, Sion.

[Of course her request is partly selfish in a way, so that she can see more of her friend. But she truly means those words as well - that he if he finds her apartment peaceful, then he's always welcome to come here if he needs peace away from everything going on outside.]
