[Staff-bearing Luke is out and about. Or at least out, since he's not doing much in the way of wandering about. Instead, he's kind of sitting almost precariously on a tree branch, leaning back against the trunk with his eyes closed, his staff held across his stomach.

Oh, this can't end well.]

Well, usually I don't fall. Besides, a couple bumps and bruises if I do aren't a problem.

[knightinspandex.livejournal.com]

But... why a tree? Or why not rest at the base?

[hymnotic]

Well... I thought no one would see me there, so it'd be quiet. [shrugs]

[knightinspandex.livejournal.com]

Ah...

[knightinspandex.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, going to notice the staff now... and just blink at it.]

[hymnotic]

[tilts his head] Huh? Hey... Guy? Everything alright there?

[knightinspandex.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Just... not used to seeing that [points to staff.] as the usual equipment for... well, people that resemble you.

[hymnotic]

Huh? [blinks, looking at his staff] Oh. Oh, yeah, right. Not really too surprised there, I doubt any others use it.

[knightinspandex.livejournal.com]

Bad back? Falling off too many places?

[hymnotic]

[laughs] You got me.

[knightinspandex.livejournal.com]

Hmm. No but really, I'm curious.

[hymnotic]

...I'm not sure you'd be too happy with the answer.

[knightinspandex.livejournal.com]

... Oh... sorry, you don't have to tell me. I didn't know it was, uh, personal.

[hymnotic]

It's not, really. I just... [touches his heart with one hand, frowning] I really don't want to upset you.

[knightinspandex.livejournal.com]

It's fine then. [The most natural thing right now is to pat Luke on the head, so he does so.]

[hymnotic]

[closes his eyes, smiling] I've missed you doing this.

[knightinspandex.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[hymnotic]

[shakes his head slightly] It's just... been a while for me.

[knightinspandex.livejournal.com]

Oh... your Guy isn't here...?

[hymnotic]

[shakes his head] No. I... I haven't seen him in a really long time.

[knightinspandex.livejournal.com]

Ah ha... I see.

[knightinspandex.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he misses you too.

[hymnotic]

[smiles a little] Yeah.

[knightinspandex.livejournal.com]

Not that that helps any... er... [Rubs the back of his neck.] Anyways, you sure you're okay? Survivable doesn't mean it didn't hurt or anything...

[hymnotic]

[smiles a little brighter, then winks] If it was that bad, I would've healed myself already.
