If you're going to lock the two of them in the lighthouse for being allergic to the word "love" then you should at least be comfortable saying it yourself. Otherwise you'll look like a hypocrite.
I love my family--yes, that does include my younger brother. I have cared deeply for a few other people in my time. I care for Lily greatly, and would put myself at vast personal risk for any of you. And yet, none of that is the type of love those two indicate; and yet, I can recognize it when it is in front of me.
There are nuances. You cannot put them all in the same scale.

It sounds like too much work to bring you back. Maybe we can just ask Aides to temporarily increase the security around the barn so that Minuet and Styx can't get in.
Do not tempt the breaking of a perfectly good security system; Aides will cry and then likely need to quest from Red to set it up again.
No; I'm going to let them do whatever they're going to do to me. Attempting to thwart it is ultimately useless, and likely to be counterproductive to this exercise.

You have some level of care and concern and possibly some other positive emotions for everyone, right?

Maybe by the time they're done yelling at each other they'll have forgotten about you.

Anyway. Please let Lily know I'll be back in the morning, most likely.
Re: done

Okay. I'll tell them. If you need a dramatic rescue, let me know.

Good night, Lethe.
