The comment has Drake beaming again, not because it's a compliment but because of how much Ephemera means it. People have thought he was awesome before -- mostly his Ma but you know, she counts -- but never like this. Never in the 'be with you forever' way that they have.
He sits as well and reaches over, taking Ephemera's free hand where it rests on the table as they eat. And he's imagining now what it's going to be like to share things with his partner when he's human, since this must've done it, right? He's pretty confident about that. They're going to be together and able to experience the same shit and it'll be rough... the timing isn't great but when will it ever be? Sometimes he just has to do things for himself. Things he wants. Things they want. Ephemera will support him, will have his back.
When dinner's gone he squeezes Ephemera's hand, a quiet request for him to look up.
"I love you, more than anything. Dessert and we call Lup?"
