❝ No— No that's not what I meant- I mean- ❞

A brief stutter , trying to rephrase her words as to not give the wrong impression . His voice did contribute toward some of her aforementioned issues , but not to the point of overstimulation . She was use to Spaul's garbled speech , more often than not playing a familiar jingle she ended up repeating somewhere in their conversation , apologizing after despite his pique .

In this case it's a matter of transparency , sharing a part of herself that often needed detailed explanation in fear that those who knew would treat her differently . Not everyone understood . Certainly not those in higher power either . Still she didn't want him to think ill of it .

Upon reaching to help him up a strained noise came from the back door , noises from within spilling out into the alley as a familiar face emerged . * Eileen ? Everything okay here darling ?

Antonio— golden locks curtaining their face . Lips tugged in concern for the Lightner given how long she'd been out here . Usually ten minutes is all it took , but for some reason she was prolonging her venture back ... and it didn't take a genuine to know why .

* Oh ! Am I... interrupting anything ??

Their tone shifted immediately , appearing coy which immediately sparked a reaction from Eileen as she waved them off . Slowly standing as her grip finally loosened to allow the F1 to fly again .

❝ Nonono- just , got caught up in conversation ! ❞ ❝ Sorry I didn't mean to be gone so long . ❞ * Don't apologize ! Everyone needs a little sugar now and then .

They chuckled softly , taking note of the color painting Eileen's cheeks at their comment . While she was doing everything but that it was still enough to garner her flustered as the Addison's gaze drifted to Spaul . * Lovely to see you again . I take it she hasn't tried to talk you into any 'sales' today , no ?

A subtle joke , but also a way for them to break the ice . They hadn't seen the puppet since that whole ordeal back downtown , and figured they'd ease the tension .
