[ Oh, no. It seems like he's really upsetting her. Lalo decides to let it drop. He can't tell her why he really asked, after all. He just hopes this isn't enough for her to guess.
He puts up both hands, gives her a cheesy smile. ]
Ah - ah! I'm sorry. You're right. I just thought you might like to do something fun, that's all. You work so hard. [ It's not a lie. She does work hard, and he does think she'd like to do something fun. But clearly this isn't fun to her. ]
You know what? Forget it. I'll tell you what. I'll stay home and rest for the rest of the day. [ He knows Sveta likes it when he rests so maybe this will make up for making her uncomfortable? ] We can go find out who needs talismans tomorrow. Okay? [ He looks at her hopefully. ]
Maybe you can show me what you think is fun someday. I would like that. I don't get out enough here. And you're from Russia! I'm not used to the snow like you are. In Mexico, we don't really have it -- not like this -- [ He sounds slightly sad. He misses Mexico! But he also knows he's rambling out of embarrassment, unused to genuine apologies, and if she was confused before he probably makes even less sense now. He quiets, and sheepishly looks at his feet. ]
