With my freeze ray I will stop the pain

There is a wet angel on the side of the street. She's sitting on the ground, her back pressed against a wall and watching the people walk by and looking like she's not enjoying herself at all. Frankly, she'd rather be somewhere else, somewhere warm and comfortable, maybe in a big armchair with a cup of coffee

Lavendar does not quite understand why bad things seem to follow her. She feels guilty, really, for the coffee shop exploding. Millie loved it and... well, she feels bad.

She's gone, got some towels and even got two to-go cups of hot chocolate. Approaching her, she offers it, looking at her uncertainly.

"Millie?"

She tries a smile, but it's not quite working.

"I'm sorry."

She watched as Lavendar approached, her smile growing just a little when she spots the cups of cocoa. She felt guilty for her too, it would have been different if Millie were living by herself but now neither of them really have anywhere to go and that definitely wasn't fair.

Taking the cocoa, she sips it and nos. Oh, she could make it better, much better, but that wasn't the point of the gesture, was it? "Thanks. Thanks a lot."

In the end, cocoa is cocoa and still warms her up fromt the inside out.

At the sound of the apology, Millie shakes her head, getting to her feet. "Nu-huh," she starts, tapping Lavendar on the tip of the nose. "You're not going to do that, 'okay? You can't be sorry, I'm not going to let you."

She smiles and makes it as bright and happy as possible because she needs Lavendar to be happy too, even if it's just a little. If they're both sad, then things start to look just a little more hopeless.

Wrinkling her nose as it is tapped, Lavendar nods her head sheepishly, "Okay. But you can't be sorry 'neither." She nods her head confidently, grinning up at Millie.

Sorry, she might even give you a hug, Millie.

"We'll rebuild it and it will be even better than last time, I bet!" She smiles widely, because she has so much hope. "'N maybe I can learn how to make some of the stuff, too. Or I could clean, I clean really good, too."

She nods her head eagerly, trying anything to cheer Millie up.

"It's a deal!"

And she raises her hand, fingers all curled except for her pinkie with remains extended towards the girl. "Let's promise, okay? We won't be sorry and we won't let each other be sorry either."

Millie is not the kind of girl who objects to hugs, so if there are any? She'll gladly hug Lavender back, even giggling a little and giving her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"It's going to be the best shop ever," Millie announces. "And I'll teach you how to make coffee and cookies and really, really good hot chocolate," She's glowing now, just at the very thought. She'd always wanted someone to help run the shop and now Lavendar was here!

"Y'know what?" She looks excitedly to the girl. "You can help decorate too. We'll make it bright and pretty and whenever anyone comes in, they'll just hae to smile because of how nice it looks. What do you think? Wold you wanna help?"
