[ dorothy doesn't know how to react to the gesture. for a moment, she doesn't - and then he's already dropped his hand and turned to leave.

she doesn't speak, this time. she does, however, reach out to grab his wrist. to stop him. ]

thank you
for bringing toto

[ maybe for more. she presses her lips together, and for a moment she's not sure if her heart is beating so wildly because she's still scared or for anothe reason. ]

[ That's the second time she's stopped him. She's starting to give the impression of wanting him to stay. He just stares into her face for a moment, trying to work out what she's thinking. He spends a lot of time doing that around her since she hides a lot of her feelings. ]

he's yours.

[ I am too, he thinks, even if she doesn't want him. A part of him will always belong to her, the part Glinda can't control. ]

is there anything else you need?

[tornadoed]

[ she's not sure she wants him to stay, but letting him leave without anything more seems - too little. not enough. but she can't think of anything else.

so after a moment, she lets her hand drop away and shakes her head. ]

[ Lucas isn't sure what he's hoping for, but frankly he's gotten more out of his exchange than he thought he would, so he can't be disappointed. Once she releases him, he gives her a nod in return, then finally makes his way home, leaving her on the porch with Toto. ]
