[that's probably the weirdest answer to give, but also, it kinda fits for lup.]
Oh for sure. Is he an elf? A human? A tentacle monster? I'm keepin' you on your feet till then. But you'll probs like him. Now pop a squat while I get our drinks ready.
Oh ho, and here I thought you were too young to know the fun of tentacle monsters. [Lup tousles her hair before she's dancing out of Ellie's reach to the kitchen, before the girl can retaliate.] They grow up so fast.
So, [Lup starts, already pulling out a pair of mugs from the cupboard.] I was thinkin' of taking Peanut out for monster hunting tomorrow. You up for some fun?
[Nothing can really be fixed, not when the hole of where Magnus should be is filled again, but being able to drag any lighthearted teasing from Ellie is everything. Lup will keep working to make sure the girl finds a reason to smile every single day.

[She nods and flops down, somewhat tiredly giving Lup a salute.]
Aye aye, cap'n.

I didn't mean it like that! Gross!
[She still obviously gets what Lup is implying, though, so...]
Oh, fuck yeah. [frown] Promise Peanut won't bite? [She still doesn't like that pupper.]
