there's so much that we share

[If there's one thing Julia's good at, it's feeling guilty. Once they're let out of the awful stretching room, she sets up in the kitchen and makes another cake. It's the same sort of coffee cake she made for Lea's wake, but this time it's got apples over top. While it's going, Julia writes notes for everyone except Elsa.]

I made cake and coffee. It's in the lounge, if you'd like to come by and not be alone.

[Maui's chest gave an awkward and unfamiliar thump. He was used to adoration and praise, but there was so much more in Lefou's gaze. It made him feel good, or perhaps fulfilled was the right way of putting it. It was as if he didn't need the adoration of everyone, that this one person was enough.

Realizing he had lagged behind while he was caught in his thoughts, Maui quickly stepped forward, and then right onto one of Lefou's feet. He was quick to realize his mistake and leap from his partner's grasp, of course, but the damage had been done, he was sure.]

[Somehow, time seemed to dilate in the second before Maui's foot came down on his toes. Maui was heavy, but barefoot, while Lefou's shoes were rigid enough to take most of the pressure, so it hurt and he stumbled, but other than a tensed hiss he was ready to keep going. When Maui leapt away like a cat that got its tail caught in a door hinge, Lefou blinked at him for a minute.

And then laughed.]

What's wrong? Are you okay?

[Realizing that whatever he had done wasn't nearly as bad as he made it out to be, Maui relaxed. Admittedly, there was a hint of warmth on his cheek, a note of sheepishness at being so worried about someone. For thousands of years, that hadn't been his way.]

Uh, yeah, totally. Just... landed on something sharp, that's all.

[The laughter faded to concern, as he looked down at the floor to make sure there was no blood, and then saw the metal buckle on his shoe.]

Oh, no, I'm sorry, did you get pinched by my buckle? Here, let me see.
