Of course. It wouldn't do to worry her. [SHE'D BE MORE THAN WORRIED. At the question, he glances back over toward Aventurine, watching with a sort of idleness as he starts to swing.]
She does, yes. I've been told we have similar faces, and she likes our hair to match.
[It's the only reason he keeps it long, which is hilarious. Also because they live shrouded in a blanket of permanent fog memshare, he can get a little flash of a young and frail girl who does look strikingly like him, smiling up at him from a sickbed.]
[ Oh, he is never going to get used to these memories cropping up out of the fog.
But he does study her with a curious gaze when she appears, taking in her features before looking back to Lucas, as if comparing the two of them. He slows his swinging, dragging his shoe against the dirt to hinder the momentum. ]
The resemblance is striking... She's got a kind smile.
His gaze is just lost out into the fog for a little while, long after the figment of his sister has faded back into nothing.]
She would be delighted to hear that. [That they look the same. He's more delighted to hear the very apt remark on the kindness of her smile, though. The heel of his boot digs into the ground a little, the gesture also idle.]
She's got a kind soul and a tender heart. [Makes sense to him that her smile would follow suit.] Nadia is one of the sweetest people anyone could meet.
There's a little bit of hesitation, but he inclines his head gently. Even if tensions didn't die down, which he doesn't expect them to, he's grateful for Aventurine saying so. It won't stop him from helping as best he's able, regardless.]
...Thank you. I'll be of more use in the coming days.

I can see why you'd go to any length to keep her safe.
[ His listless swinging comes to a stop, and he leans his head against the chain of the swing as he watches Lucas. ]
... I just wanted to check on you. If you're adjusting okay.

Sometimes your sister dies before you can truly be insane about her, it's fine. There's an AU out there somewhere where it happened.]
I would... [Go to any length. UNFORTUNATELY!! As Aventurine stops swinging, Lucas pushes himself back a little by his boot heel before glancing over.]
...Thank you. I apologize if I've worried you... It seems I've been the source of concern for far too many already.

Aventurine pushes himself to a stand, regarding Lucas with a small smile. ]
You and everyone else. Tensions should die down soon enough, and we'll get back on track trying to figure a way out of here.
[ He says this and then in the next few days the entire gy tries to tpk itself. ]
I'll leave you to get back to it.
