Lucien wasn't sure whether he wanted to feel annoyed by his reaction. He wasn't sure if he had that look on his face because he was mocking him. [color=burlywood]"I helped out sometimes but no, not particularly.. I'm not all that religious.."[/color] He had his own reasons for that. After all it was by the laws of their so called God that his father and mother weren't able to be together. He didn't necessarily hate it, but he had developed enough at a young age to know not to believe everything he was told in regards to that. He held his own opinions about it, but it didn't mean he still wasn't grateful for the fact the priests had taken him in. He wasn't resentful toward them, after all it wasn't their fault that things had happened the way they did. 

He glanced up at the man again as he spoke. Honestly he felt like he was being treated like a little kid. He supposed he might look like a teenager to most people. His features didn't really make him look his age. It was unfortunate really, that he still looked like he was a seventeen year old when he was actually in his twenties. Well, twenty to be exact. Why couldn't he just keep rapidly developing until he seemed to be twenty one? Maybe then people would stop confusing him for a woman. The same thing used to happen to him at the church. He honestly just hoped he would keep growing. The idea of being stuck like this didn't seem particularly appealing. 

[color=burlywood]"Thank you.. for the warning I suppose.."[/color] For a moment, he watched the man go, but he was conflicted. He knew the voyage to America was a long one. While he wasn't necessarily scared of being alone, he felt like having the company would be nice on a trip like this. The man didn't particularly seem approachable. Didn't that mean that he would be alone on this voyage as well? He didn't really see the harm in sticking together. Determined, he quickly ran to catch up with him. 

[color=burlywood]"This.. trip is supposed to be long isn't it? If we're headed for the same place.. I don't think there's much harm in having a little company. If I'm suppose to avoid anyone that's bigger than me while I'm here then, being with the biggest man around is the best option right?"[/color] He asked a little jokingly, glancing up at the man. [color=burlywood]"Ah.. my name is Lucien, by the way."[/color] He added, realizing he hadn't been polite enough to introduce himself sooner. He figured the least he could do was offer his name if he hoped to travel with him.
