[He raises an eyebrow as Lapis disappears, but chalks it up to... her whims, or something, and continues doing routine tests with the little robot. He's still there when she returns and completely absorbed in it until she says something.
He blinks. Looks at the hamburger. Looks at her. Looks at the hamburger again.]
... You didn't need to get me anything. I am not part of the... party.
[Now that he's holding it, though, it's... smelling really good...]
[sigh] Thank you. [He's not ungrateful. But as he goes to set the controller down, there's a shrill beep from the robot. Blade whips his head around just in time to see the drone attacked by an entire flock of seagulls.
He mutters a swear word under his breath, shoves the hamburger in his mouth, and then uses both hands to wrangle the controller so he can get the drone running away from the gulls. However, the programming goes on the fritz as the gulls continue bullying the hell out of it, and the drone suddenly goes running right toward the water.
Shit.
Burger still shoved in his mouth like he's an anime protagonist late for school, he drops the controller and goes sprinting toward the waves so he can rescue his poor crabbot before the next wave hits and shorts it out. This is not a man who runs for no reason. That's like 250 hours of work!!!!
A big rolling wave sprays up to his knees and nearly bowls him over. Blade staggers but manages to keep his balance, holding the crabbot aloft (while a couple of gulls try to peck at it). It's mostly dry. Success!!! Even if he had to sacrifice his doc martens and his sanity in the process.

Maybe there's a reason he doesn't go outside.]
