[Seymour stops when Blade approaches him with his handful of mugs of hot cocoa, one eyebrow raised. And then a cup is held out to him, and he just... stares at it for a moment, as though he can't quite understand why it's being offered.

I thank you, though I do hope this wasn't meant for someone else...
[The mug is certainly bringing a little bit of feeling back to his hands, he can't deny that much. Apparently not all of the stinging pain was from keeping things locked away inside rather than sharing them with others...]
... I believe we all could, after this week. And not just because of the weather.

[Blade himself likes physical contact, so this week has been awful for him.]

[It's a lie, but he doesn't really care to tell the truth.]
