[Luke sat anxiously by the rest of the group, Mr. Bear decided to take a nap close by. He was both excited and nervous to meet his future self, and was showing that nervousness by babbling on to whoever was listening.]

Do you think he- I mean, I turned out to be a real gentleman? I have so many questions to ask him! I wonder what future London's like...

[And so on.]

[remilution]

Haha. Getting nervous, are you, Assistant Number Two? Try not to overwhelm him--yourself, that is, with questions.

[Standing at the side of the bench, arms crossed and laughing slightly at Luke's anxious babbling, Remi finds herself as curious as the rest of the group--or, at least, she assumes the rest of the group is as curious as she is.]

Hm. After a long travel, the two Lukes will finally meet! . . . It's kind of a strange thought.

[Sitting silently on the bench, Claire's expression was unusually serious as she rested her chin on her interlaced fingers, staring into space. She knew "future Luke"'s secret, after all. She wanted to believe the best in him, of course, but she couldn't help being on her guard.]

[Flora opted to sit beside Claire, not saying much either. She knew the secret just as well as Claire did, but how would things go? She didn't know. At all. But she kept at least a straight face, if not a small smile. It wouldn't do to allow Luke, Remi or the Professor to think something is wrong.]
