[The bag could probably take it, and it's been through some things in its time, but when Lisa hears the mug touch down with a heavy sound and notices it's at some distance and out of the way of her yarn, she flashes a warm smile up to Sam.] Thank you, seriously. And yeah, that's fair - some people just don't have the right personality for a hot-blooded scarf, either. [Carefully, she sets her half-finished project in her tote, stretching her arms to the ceiling for a moment before reaching for the cocoa, sipping it slowly.] Mm... okay, I needed that.
[She grins at the reminder that school's out for a bit.] Oh, I definitely need the break from school too. Finals were... an experience... but it's fine, I got through them, I'm not super worried about, well, even my bad subjects? [There's a reason for that, but she'll keep that under wraps for now.] Now I just have to look ahead to third semester... and then whatever's after that. [A puff, as she looks into the distance, an accidental study in metaphor.] Or maybe I'll save that looking for later. Much later.
[A sidelong glance.] Which is one of the larger things that's been on my mind, admittedly. So I've been trying to kick that can down the road with projects! I just keep getting distracted. [That's probably evident. There are half a dozen bandages on her fingers, and the industrial-strength gauze pad on the back of her hand looks recently taped. Still, even if she looks like she's had a bad time of things, her spirits are good, and that can only be a good thing.] Oh, speaking of projects! Um, can I interest you in a cookie? [Setting the cocoa down, she reaches back across to her tote but on the other side from her knitting, and after a little rummaging without looking, pulls out a twist-tied bag of what look like sugar cookies, in the shape of mittens, with vivid, icy-blue icing and black piping.] I can vouch that they're very edible, but not everybody likes sugar with their sugar.
