[Luke was going to be sent out again, and this time there were a lot more people he knew and cared for who were coming along. Some who couldn't even defend themselves.

He'd have to kill again. Luke should really stop thinking that such peaceful periods would last... They never lasted. He could never stop doing it, could he...

Luke can be found in the battle dome, fighting simulations of Third Party soldiers and fighting back the grimaces that threaten to come over his face, by Seventh Heaven leaning against the wall and staring at the ground, around CH2, and in the apartment itself. He's awfully lost in his thoughts, but he'd appreciate some words with his friends.]

[Hey. You okay?]

[cakeblocked]

You're here too, huh? [He's not surprised. He saw Mewtwo's name on the list, too... Luke steps away from the entrance, taking his eyes off of his friend in favor of staring at the floor again.] Sorry I took so long in there... You can fight now if you want. I don't want to do it anymore. [Or... ever.]

[antlioncyclone]

[Hey. Hey. I didn't shut down my simulation for no reason, y'know.]

Mrrrm.

[There's something bothering you.]

[offallingsnow]

[then perhaps they will run into each other near Seventh Heaven. But in greeting Nephry can only offer a strained sort of smile]

[cakeblocked]

[Luke only notices her after a second glance, and he tries to return her smile, though it's mostly just a twitch of the lips upward.]

Hey.

[offallingsnow]

Hello, Luke.

[cakeblocked]

I... guess you saw who all's going on the draft.

[offallingsnow]

Yes. ...I hope you will all help each other.

[cakeblocked]

We will.

[... Considering that one event where they were all connected to each other, as family...]

I'll protect them all, okay? [He keeps his gaze down, though, and his voice shakes just slightly. He'll protect them... even if it means killing.]

[offallingsnow]

[Oh, Luke. Sometimes he really does seem like a child of his chronological age. Nephry puts a hand on his shoulder, hoping that will get him to look at her]

I believe in all of you.

[cakeblocked]

[Luke does look at her thanks to that touch... and he has to try and hide how his lips stretch and purse a little before he looks away again.]

... I know. [He's the most physical fighter out of all of them who are going. He needs to be strong right now. He needs to be...]

[offallingsnow]

So please, do everyone a favor and make sure my brother keeps himself in line.

[She saw that face. Maybe a little humor will help him.]

[cakeblocked]

[... Oh, he can't help snorting a little at that.]

I don't think I can make any promises on that.

[offallingsnow]

You may be the only one who can. He likes you.

[cakeblocked]

Nah, he just likes messing around with me.

[Jade? Like him? That'd be a new one for him.]
