Intro; away from the sun

[vindicatedchild.livejournal.com]

If anyone bothers to head outside, there's a Luke leaning against a tree. He looks between being conscious and passing out though. There are small wounds scattered across his body and cuts in his clothes-- A hand twitches and if you look close enough, you can see through him to the tree at some points anyway. He breathes softly ad his eyes crack open. Even though he can't make out the images, he can feel sunlight. Isn't that a good sign?

"...Did.. Did it work?"

[ooc: ^{Check out the journal for the information on this guy. Trying it out just to see where it goes. Feel free to ask questions?}]

He shakes his head, looking in her direction but more at the wall behind her. "It's not your fault. It's... sort of like I never really had actually." He lifts one hand while supporting the baby on his other arm, fingers wrapping around the back of his neck.

"What's done is done, I just wish Guy had forgiven himself a little earlier than he did." The corners of his lips curl up, but not by much.

Still... [ That was their- his family. How could Guy have done that when he had experienced the exact same thing? There's so many things she wants to ask him. How? Why did he leave Luke alive? ]

So you two are friends.. [ She gives a weak smile and slips off the chair to crouch down in front of him, resting a hand on his shoulder. ] What he did didn't bother you?

He nods, startled slightly as she places a hand on his shoulder. It takes him a moment or two, but he starts to speak. "Of course it did... At one point, I almost asked him to kill me just to finish the job. What upset me the most though was that he did all that... And he kept it from me."

"I can't say I hate him or anything like that, I've known him all my life, so.. slowly, he's filled in the gap he made himself." He looks down. "Something like that."

[fononfailure]

[ At the mention of him having wanted to ask to be killed she turns away, eyes screwed shut tight. It seems there'll always be traits they share no matter how their pasts differ from each other. ] ...knowing Guy, he didn't say anything so you wouldn't be hurt.

[ She hums softly to herself, nodding once as her eyes open. ] I think I understand what you mean. He's still the person who looked after you for so long.

He nods. "I understood that after a while, after seeing how it really affected Guy as we went on. It really hurt him bad." There's another nod as she speaks and the smile comes back to his face.

"Yup, that's Guy."

[fononfailure]

Guy's always been a good person, even if his choices weren't the best. A lot like us. [ Returns the smile and makes herself comfortable on the floor with him, running a finger over her child's cheek. ] We all learned a lot from each other.

[vindicatedchild.livejournal.com]

Agreed, there has been a lot they've learned from each other. "Yup, that's true." So much they've learned, so much to remember from one another.

[fononfailure]

I don't think we'd be the same if it weren't for him.

A laugh. "Got that right."
