[It might be both. It's probably both. The cocoa is nice, but she's right, she could bring anything and he'd be happy about it. Seifer's not picky. He's just... glad they're not enemies. Glad that she doesn't hate him as much as he thinks she should.
They grew up in the same situation after all. Being trained to cover up for the failings of those who should have taken more responsibility. Making it through those situations as much by chance as anything else, as those selfsame adults continued to fail them every step of the way. What use were they when they needed teenagers to save the world they had more than a decade's warning about the looming threat? This was the best they could do?

Discovering a complete and utter lack of life skills was pretty shocking back in the village. Still a struggle here after Seifer had begun to hone a few into something useful. At least he can keep himself fed, that's something.]

[It's said gently, maybe even sorrowfully. If buried under a significant amount of sarcastic tone to keep the edge off. There's something about it that implies he might not be talking about a thing so much.]
[They were robbed of so much. Could they ever truly learn how to function in the real world now?]
