[The feed turns on, and whatever Luke is doing the ground must not be steady, because the image is shaking. He looks like he hasn't slept much in the last day, and his sweater is smudged and dirty

...How are you doing?

[luke_triton]

I'm okay.

[Lies.]

[modernholmes]

Do you really expect me to believe that?

[luke_triton]

Not really.

[modernholmes]

...Is there anyone with you now?

[luke_triton]

[He shakes his head. What he won't say is that there isn't anyone in the house at all now that Layton left.]

[modernholmes]

You shouldn't be alone right now. [Conan had never claimed to understand much about how normal kids emotions worked. But he had learned from the detective boys that it wasn't good to leave them by themselves.]

[luke_triton]

It's okay. C-Claire is here..

[He knows that isn't what Conan means, but he's not willing to belabor the point.]

[modernholmes]

Anyone else? [Even if it was just the tone of voice, Conan could tell that Luke was hiding something.]

[luke_triton]

[Because Luke is the worst liar ever.]

Just me f-for now..

[modernholmes]

[Really, Luke?]

....I'm coming over.

Your username changed XD

[luke_triton]

[He didn't promise he was convincing.]

You don't have to.

XD, finally got around to doing it

[modernholmes]

You shouldn't be alone. And I don't mind.

I like it!

[luke_triton]

[Luke sniffs, shaking his head.]

Are..you sure?

[modernholmes]

I wouldn't offer if I wasn't.

[luke_triton]

Um...okay..
