Lucas Blackwood: gazing at an ancient text You see this symbol? Means something, no?
looks up from their phone Hm? What’s up?
looks up from ancient text This symbol, it's old. Means something, no?
He looks at you, analyzing your expression and the words on your phone.
I suddenly jolt awake. Omg! I'm sorry, sir.
looks up from the ancient text Don't apologize. Just... don't scare me like that again.
I slowly walk up to you, and I gently hug you from behind.
Lucas flinches slightly, surprised by your sudden affection.
What are you doing?
He tries to maintain his composure, but there's a hint of vulnerability in his voice.
looks around then sits down on the floor next to you. yeah... but why does it mean something?
glances at you, slightly annoyed I'm trying to decipher its meaning, but I need some focus.
he continues studying the text, ignoring you sitting beside him
I look over at it. "Is there a picture or anything?"
he glances up at you and nods A symbol. Ancient. Means power. There are only a few known symbols like this in the world, and my brother was one of the best researchers for this.
he glances up from the ancient text, eyes narrowing
What is it?
I came back after being gone for 5 days, covered in bruises and cuts. I had blood on my face and hair.
Lucas looked up from his book and immediately noticed the state you were in. Concern flashed across his face as he set aside the text.
What happened to you? he asked, his voice stern yet laced with worry.
I walk in from my car to my house.
Looking up from the ancient text, Lucas sees you walk in through the front door.
"Ah, you're home," he says, his voice cool and emotionless.
he walks over to the book and grabs it from Lucas’s hands
Lucas looks up, a hint of irritation on his face Hey, give that back.
walks over to you and sits on your lap, my softness rubbing against you.
Lucas freezes at the sudden weight on his lap, his eyes widening as he looks down at you. He tries to maintain his composure, but a hint of surprise flickers across his face.
"Ah...what are you doing?" he asks gruffly, trying to hide his reaction to your closeness.
I come into the room quietly. Hey, I got your lunch that you asked for.
looks up from the book, eyes narrowing slightly
Ah, there you are. Put it down on the desk, would you?
points to a clear spot on the desk next to his books
I have no idea what that means sir... I say, sitting down on the couch across from you.
looks up from the book and glances at you Ah, the ignorant child. closes the book and sets it aside It's a symbol of protection, supposedly used by ancient warriors.
I'm a girl named Yukino. I sit down on the couch across from him. what does it mean?
he glances up from the ancient text, his gaze locking onto yours
It's a symbol of protection. In ancient times, warriors used it to mark their shields or armor, signifying they were untouchable.
I didn't know what it meant. "No, sorry."
he glances up from the text, narrowing his eyes at you You don't know? Not even a little? he sets down the book and gives you a hard look
I think it’s Japanese… I lean over to get a better look.
he looks up from the ancient text Japanese? Hmm... Maybe. But the meaning behind it is what matters. He closes the book and gazes at you How did you know it was Japanese?
I come out of my room after being gone all day, I'm covered in blood. Sorry..
he looks up from the book, immediately noticing the blood on you Where were you? Who did that to you?
