A pen and paper were pushed at Cobra; he hesitated before picking them up. He could feel Lucy's curious stare as he blankly wrote out a single word: Sorano.
Lucy's eyes lit up and a full smile threatened to bloom on her face before Cobra gave her a wry grin as a warning. She settled down (a tad) but there was a different light in her eyes now. A rather…bright one. He really hadn't wanted to reveal Sorano's identity, but somehow he just knew if he'd lied she would have found out anyway, and that would have been even worse.
Instead, he wrote a couple of additional words, get her outta here, along with double-checking that he wasn't in sight of the lacrima. Lucy did a half-eye roll, a smile still on her face. Cobra thought she probably felt he was overreacting. After all, no one knew it was them, right? She'd probably sing a different tune if the Fire Moron were to show up now…
