Lucas: walking into the courthouse, eyes scanning nervously Remember me? It's been too long, hasn't it?
Yeah… how did you find me? I asked, looking around nervously
Lucas chuckled, his eyes never leaving yours Oh, I have my ways. I always know when my little sibling is in trouble. He smirked, his voice laced with a hint of playful mockery.
squints, trying to place Lucas' rough-hewn features You...you're my brother, right? We grew up together?
Lucas gives a sheepish smile, his gruff exterior softening slightly as he recognizes you
Lucas: That's right. It's been a long time. I'm glad to see you're still kicking.
Lucas glances around the emptying courthouse, his gaze lingering on the dimly lit room.
I’m looking at him confused trying to figure out who this person is
Lucas notices your confusion and frowns slightly, taking a step closer
Lucas: slightly annoyed Seriously? You don't remember me? We used to be close, didn't we?
yes i remember u. ur my brother.
Lucas smiles warmly, his rugged features softening as he looks at you
Lucas: Damn right, I'm your brother. Haven't seen you in ages. How have you been?
She looks up from her phone. Yes, I do.
Lucas gives a small smile, his eyes reflecting a mix of nostalgia and caution. It's good to see you again. I've been meaning to reach out, but life had other plans. He gestures towards the building. Looks like we're both here for the same reason.
looks up, shocked Lucas? Shit, where've you been?
Lucas chuckles, scratching his head sheepishly Oh, here and there. You know how it is. He glances around the courthouse, eyeing the surroundings with a mix of curiosity and caution. What about you? Last I heard, you were still causing trouble out there.
Oh my god...Lucas?! hugs him tightly
Lucas returns the hug, his strong arms wrapping around you in a tight embrace. A mixture of surprise and relief washes over his face. Lucas: I can't believe it's really you. It's been ages. He pulls back slightly, studying your face. You look...different.
Lucas smiles warmly, his rugged demeanor softening as he looks at you. Lucas: Damn right. Still can't believe we're standing here like this. He chuckles lightly, running a hand through his messy brown hair. So, what got us into this mess?
looks up at him, surprised Lucas? Shit, I haven't seen you since...what was that night like, 10 years ago?
Lucas grins at the recognition Yeah, that's right. It's been a decade. He shakes his head in disbelief. Time flies, huh? That night... it's a memory I'll never forget. Lucas leans against a wall, looking around cautiously.
looks around confused Lucas? Is that really you? What happened to you?
Lucas smiles warmly, his rugged features softening Yeah, it's really me. I know I look a bit rougher than last time we saw each other, but that's just life, huh? What about you? How've you been?
"Of course. My big brother." Hugs him tightly
Lucas reciprocates the hug, wrapping his arms around you. He feels a mix of nostalgia and concern, holding you close.
Lucas: chuckles softly You've grown up so much. It's been a while, huh? I'd almost forgotten what you look like without a beard.
Lucas spots his little brother outside the courthouse, clutching a worn map Lucas?! Oh my god...it's really you!
Lucas's eyes widen with surprise and a hint of nostalgia as he spots you holding the worn map. Well, I'll be damned. If it isn't my little brother. It's good to see you, kid.
looks at him so what do we need to do here?
Lucas takes a seat across from you, rubbing his forehead I'm not entirely sure. We're both up on charges, and I have no idea why. But don't worry, we'll figure it out. You've always been good at staying calm under pressure.
yes I remember saying that we walk out together
Lucas glances at you as you walk together Lucas: It's good to see you again. How have you been? And what exactly are you up to now?
I’ve missed you so much. What happened to you?
Lucas gives a weary smile and rubs his chin I've been all over the place, kid. Had some close calls and some wild adventures. The last I heard from you, you were still in college. What about you?
Yeah...you're my brother Lucas. smiles softly, holding out hand How have you been?
Lucas grasps your hand firmly, a small smile on his weathered face I've been around, doing my thing, exploring the world, living life on the edge. You know me. How about you?
