Lydia grins a little to herself when she hears Matt's cane tapping his way into the HQ. She loves when they happen to come down to the HQ at the same time and no one else happens to be around. It's the closest they can get to being alone without either of them risking getting caught breaking rules or putting out a roommate. The sooner she gets to YELLOW, the better, because then it won't matter anymore. ...she's tempted to think they'll never leave their rooms, though, once they're allowed on the same floor as such.

She rolls her eyes playfully and laughs, turning to face him as he approaches. "Excuse you, mister," she says, reaching for his hand and drawing him closer. "I happen to be a fantastic cook when given the proper materials. This, however, is a science experiment."

Leaning closer, Lydia closes the space between them, pressing a soft but lingering kiss to his lips, her hands moving to hold his face and fingers slipping into his hair to massage against his scalp. She hums a quiet contentment against his mouth before parting from him. "I'm so glad to see you. I've missed you all stupid day, you know that?" she asks with a little grin, reaching for his glasses to give them to him. She's long since established that even though he seldom actually manages to look her in the eye, she still likes to look him in his.
