Lucian looked at Mike, and couldn't help but smile. He wasn't keen on the kid, but his consistant optimisim was starting to be something that Lucian was expecting everytime he saw him. Regardless of their powers and what else could happen, he hoped that that aspect of the kid would remain...he also hoped he would endure some form of trauma and suddenly think more logically, but would be content with just the first. "Yup, ready to grind." Making sure no one else was around, Lucian pulled his bo staff out. It was going to be more for defensive purposes, he tapped it to the ground.
