Lily laughed, then covered her mouth, looking at Faye apologetically. For the first time in weeks, she felt like herself, she felt like she could be happy for someone else, that there were still people here whose well being she cared about and while that in itself was unusual, apparently it had gotten difficult to become detached from them again. She didn't want to be detached.

Preferable to him getting angry with you or telling you that you're on your own with this, right?" While she was sure Faye was capable of doing something like this on her own, it was better that Dean wanted to be around. Better still that he was excited about it. There was something definitely sweet about that and Lily grinned, then nodded at the chairs. "Come on, sit down. Tell me more about it."
