Lucidian winced slightly when the boy said that not many people would miss him, rolling over onto his side towards the wall. He wasn't wrong at all. Jennifer was the only person he knew that would truly care about him at this point, but to other people they look like they hate each other to the bone. Jennifer didn't want to explain why she broke his ribs either. [i]She[/i] wasn't even the one that officially did it. If she tried to say that some crazy, almost literally frothing-at-the-mouth beast controlled her to attack Lucas, then they'd [i]both[/i] be dead. It's not like that would do much to those beasts that were attached to her body. They'd just tear humanity both physically and mentally faster than Lucidian could get people to hate him. And what happened recently already showed how fast [i]that[/i] could happen.

Jennifer's eyes watched the boy's movements as he went over the car. She was waiting right next to it when she remembered that he stepped out of it. She winced slightly as he touched her face and moved her head around, looking uncomfortable while gritting her teeth. [color=2e3192]"Y-y'know, you're the only person that would actually bother standing up to Luc- [i]Lucas[/i] like that. He's the only one that has permission to touch me at all without needing consent,"[/color] she grumbled.

She focused more on his question now that he asked, sighing while making sure not to move her face too much. [color=2e3192]"Yeah, we're pretty close actually. Maybe a little [i]too[/i] close but y'know. I didn't mean to break his ribs on purpose when I first met him by the way. I just got- I guess you could say startled? He's usually a gigantic, cuddly teddy bear with me and doesn't mean to hurt me like this. We've had times worse than just this though."[/color]
