Beru alone is like a thousand soldiers. [ If not more, to be honest. ] I'll introduce you to everyone, they're... dying to meet you.
[ The pause is here because it's a bit too late when he realizes he's about to say a pun. Not that he thinks about it for too long, not after hearing that generous offer. ]
...I do.
[ It's a simple declaration followed by Jinwoo clinging to her, burying his face in the crook between her shoulder and neck. ]
Beru? [ One of the new soldiers, then. Lapis is certain she'll get to meet them later - for now the unintentional pun gets her to chuckle. Her amusement is short-lived though; Jinwoo's admission and how he clings has her blinking, concern washing through her as she tightens her arms around him. ]
We'll stay like this for as long as you want. [ She shifts, letting her cheek rest atop his head as she holds him close.
And as she falls silent for a moment, an idea comes to mind. ]
... I'm no good at telling stories, but I could sing a little, if that would help.
What do you mean, I'm looking forward to the adventures of Princess in Pancakeland.

I'm no good at it either. [ It's impossible not to recall his last attempt. ] But I'd love to hear you sing.
[ Her voice is so soothing whenever she speaks, so he can only imagine how nice Lapis' singing voice is. ]
