[Aha, she was right! But then she ends up tilting her head slightly again as she listens to him, mulling over his words - and what he says about "letting something else in" causes a sinking feeling in her stomach, even if there's no change in her expression.

[The feeling of him looking through her when he looks towards her causes her to shift for a moment; mainly out of awkwardness rather than feeling uncomfortable. His words causing both Lapis and Mitchell to blink, and the ghost glowers, but he does relax a bit now that he knows Cole is safe. Lapis watches him for a moment, gauging how he's feeling, before looking back at Cole.]

... Mitchell is always like that. I think he knows you won't do anything, but he doesn't really trust anyone.
