"You've been saying that the whole time," Nico grumps, "even when they were frozen solid."
It wasn't that bad, but Nico was very worried!!! He finally offers up the mug of hot chocolate after Lev gets done flexing his fingers, before reaching over to shut the water off. At least that conversation seems to have gotten him to unclench a little bit, since he's no longer shifting around so guiltily. "I thought you wanted us to be friends," he even manages to tease. "You've changed your mind?"
"I don't care," Abby says, an edge of exasperation sneaking in, "You know your skin has to– moisturise, again. Right? It was frozen and now it isn't, so be careful for a couple hours."
She has no idea if any of this is true or not, she just has a vivid picture in her mind of Lev's skin sloughing off like snake shed and revealing all this raw, shiny flesh underneath of it. And that's the last thing anybody needs because then he won't be able to hold anything and he'll become insufferable. So really, she says it for all of them.
Anyway. Nico's teasing Lev, she has to get in there. "It's too late, if you have. We're already best friends."
