Rodin could feel a headache come along. This day really was already too long. [color=ed1c24]"Pretense is what shields us from unsavory rumors of us being madmen and I for one cannot afford to be seen as one for the sake of my own family. I've acted out of character enough as it is."[/color] He understood that Ferrucio really had nothing to lose and maybe it was for the best if he got the chance to live a bit more freely than he possibly ever could in his past life. Rodin though had no such luxuries. Still, there was hope to at least talk some sense into his cousin in some respects of his line of thinking. [color=ed1c24]"It's also just as equally possible that we'll just make things worse if by some miracle we were able to convince them. We are an impossible existence and the effects that our actions may bring about unwanted change when we are not ready."[/color] Surely there were consequences to their sudden presence in the past. They were beings that were outside of fate, so whatever meddling they played now could have disastrous consequences until they knew more. Well, that was something for another time though. For now, he could at least appreciate having his life back for now. Rodin smiled at Ferrucio and patted him on the shoulder. [color=ed1c24]"But I do understand your distaste. I would be grateful to share a lunch table with you. The offer still stands though. You'll always be welcomed by my family."[/color] His gaze then fell upon Lucas who was just standing there the whole time. You know, after Rodin called him over. [color=ed1c24]"Ah, my apologies. I called you over, but I ended up ignoring you. As you can see, the topic of conversation is quite heavy, but I am sure you are quite aware of it already. After all, your skills are far more honed than before. As is your tongue. Where did you learn to talk like that?"[/color]
