[PQ] Session 2 take 2

Luka

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade

Luka has been tailing his sister for the bette part of the season, and though she doesn’t outwardly react to his presence when it extends abnormally past Halo’s borders, he can tell she appreciates it. That the reason for her silence is the same as her recent depression; a desire not to talk or think about all that has happened. He supports her silently, keeping her company and inserting himself in places he knows he’s welcome even without her saying so.

Today, that apparently means helping with her Guild. With his twin uncharacteristically meek, Luka steps out of his own comfort zone to approach Edmund with an outstretched hand and a focused expression that hopefully does not come off as challenging. “Luka. Nice to meet you; Soleil has told me a lot.” All positive things, though that is liable to put Edmund on his shit list faster given he doesn’t like the idea of his sister liking people. “I’d like to join your Guild. And help, of course.” He doesn’t expect to be turned away, but he waits for confirmation before nodding shortly and stepping away thereafter to begin working immediately, not one to waste time.

Happy to do heavy lifting, he works on removing the old bolts and screws that had been holding the old door, and setting up the hardware to begin mounting the new one in its place.

Luka replaces the door!

And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid
