Hey now, too cold for freeballing and too cold to be without pants are two very different states of being. [He presses a mug into her reaching hands, and very pointedly diverts his attention back to the counter to get his own at the question.]
"I'm alive" isn't the answer you're looking for, but it's about the best I've got. [Has Kotone started to catch on that he shitposts a lot harder when he's stressed or upset?]
What's it called if a girl walks around without pants?
[She gratefully accepts the mug, though, leaning against the closest counter and grinning as she blows on the hot coffee. Akira's coffee always is a treat! It kind of reminds her of when she used to work for that café in Tatsumi Port Island or when she'd go there to hang out with Shinji.
More importantly, though, Akira's... being himself. She hums, acknowledging what he'd said with a bit of a shrug.]
[She hums again. Ain't that just the way, though? Things get tough, and not everyone makes it through, but they have to live each day to the fullest they can.
Shifting the mug to one hand, she raises her other in a clear "come here," gesture. Lean against this counter and slouch into her waiting arm, buddy. It's a half a hug, but it's the best she can do when she's got coffee.]
I'm glad you're here, [she says simply, just as a reminder.]
Free lipping, maybe...? [He offers, more quietly than usual as he's just thinking out loud, and he trails off when she holds her arm out. His expression goes from confusion to hesitance, but he does shrug his way into her.]
[She snorts a laugh at the visual, but doesn't argue it. Nor does she think that'll be a term that's entering her vocabulary, except maybe to tease Akira...?]
Wanna go out and do anything? [she asks, blowing on her coffee again and squeezing his shoulders a little. It's kind of an awkward angle, but she does her best!] Or we could hang out here. Goro's probably got some nerd games we can play, right?
[He's trying his best, okay!! His other thought was double-breasted, but people with boobs almost always have two, so he went with free lipping.]
Mmmn..., He's not big on games, not here at least, but if we can find something I'd rather not go anywhere. [He closes his eyes and keeps right on leaning-- he looks tired, but not too worse for wear.]

Being alive is a pretty good start, at least!

[His shoulders hunch slightly, but he nods.] 's been kinda rough lately, so it's better than the alternative.
