[005] Video
[Luke's had enough time now being an adult (sort of) again that some of his initial mortification and discomfort has worn off. Or at least, it's worn off enough that the need to thank/apologize to everyone has overridden it. He's going to have to talk to everyone sometime. He can't run and hide from everyone forever

[ but it's pretty obvious he's teasing ]

[ leave it to Kid to assign balance to everything ]
And you think -- erroneously -- that because taking care of you when you were small was such an inconvenience to everyone, that this is the only thing you have that adequately compensates that?

[Hang on... he's trying to figure this out... really.]
I was such a pain, the first time... Everyone thought I'd... that Asch... that I was him and I'd lost his memories. They just... wanted my memories to come back... memories I'd never had. Memories I didn't need. [he adds that part almost vehemently] But now... now I know why I was like that... and... Rgh...
[his train of thought is leaving him, but it's a lot more... orderly, than it used to be. For Luke, it's confusing the way people reacted in the past with how they're reacting now, and not wanting to be judged or looked down on again for being what he was. He doesn't realize that a lot of people just saw him as a shy, quirky kid. His earlier fight with Asch didn't help that, if by nothing more than worsening Luke's whole mood.]

[Especially since Kid's words might have a grain of truth in there somewhere. He does feel like he owes something to the people who helped him, at least. Luke falls silent for a little while, before finally speaking up again.]
A lot of people don't seem to be asking about it anyway...

I guess...
[Luke's expression falls a little as he gets lost in thought - going back to what Asch was angry about earlier, about him not doing much. As much as he hates it... it does kind of line up with some of how he's felt himself]
Hey, Kid? What do you... what are some of the things you can do around here? Like... I don't know. I just feel like I'm always wandering around or sitting in my room.

I've... never really had a job before.
[Nothing official, at least unless they counted Luke's stint as the ambassador. Which we would rather not, thank you very much.]
I kind of feel like I need to do something, though...
[Because wandering around the city and practicing swordsmanship wasn't going to cut it forever.]

What is it you enjoy doing? That's a sound place to start.

Well... uh... I like being around my friends... I like flying in the Albiore... [And looking out the window] Back at the manor, I liked training with... well, practicing. I guess I kind of like flowers too... [Between the selenias and Pere the gardener being one of the few people who'd talk to him back at the manor...]

[Does that answer your question, Kid?]

Would you like me to show you a pastime that isn't sparring, but is still competitive and good exercise?

[He's not quite sure where Kid's going with this, but he's interested, at least.]
