Good.

[He unwinds his finger from his hair, reaches his hand behind himself to make the requisite gesture to unseal the door.]

I don't believe he's upset with you. [Though it can be difficult to tell where L is concerned; their mentor is hard to read. Not that Near will dissuade Mello from talking to him if he wishes.

[He pushes himself to his feet and re-enters the house, confident in the knowledge that Mello is following him.]

[torrefied]

I still probably better talk to him.

[Mello climbs to his feet, shoves his hands into the pockets of his coat, and makes quick work of following Near through the door.]

He deserves an explanation, at least.

[Mello wouldn't go so far as to say he feels like he owes L an explanation for his behavior, because Mello doesn't, as a general rule, owe anyone anything. But he'd been witness to something volatile, something for which he may not have been prepared. And Mello respects L and values his opinion too much to brush off any ensuing awkwardness.]

[He closes and seals it, the spell being second-nature by this point.]

I will leave you to it, then. [And he heads back to his room, removing the sheathed knife from his coat sleeve -- he's clearly taken Mello's "carry it whenever you leave the house" instruction very seriously -- before unzipping the coat.]
