[Luke's curled up in front of the terminal, looking rather forlorn after the massive info dump that was just dropped on everyone, not to mention Dax's horrifying death. It takes him a moment for him to live his chin up from where it's wedged against his knees so he can speak clearly.]

So... I don't... really understand what's happened. But from what I've read and watched on the network... does this mean everyone that's died is... a replica?

[...he really doesn't know how to feel about that. On one hand, yay, even more people like him! On the other... that is so damn depressing.]

W-were we living when we were taken from our worlds, or was that our first 'death'? How is it even that they were able to bring any part of us here?

[He sulked back until his face was hiding behind his knees now.]

...I think all this gave us even more questions than answers...

[A mallet helps.]

[Luke let out a sigh, burying his face in his arm. He'd be all right eventually; this was just a lot to take in at once.]

[Action] We can handwave the training if he says yes

[Oh Luke.

A hand gently brushes over that mop of red hair, Guy staying silent for a long moment. There wasn't much else to tell him, and he was probably overwhelmed enough. So plan B it was - distraction.]

Mmm. If you feel up to it, go ahead and meet me up in the meadow in a couple hours. We can try out some sword practice - I haven't seen much of what you've learned yet from your new teacher.

Does that sound alright?

[Action] I don't mind either way.

[Well, that was one way to get Luke's attention. He lifted his head slightly, interested.]

...you sure?

[Action] Considering the event coming up, I'm thinking handwaving might be best

[relinquishing]

[Hey, when all else fails, stick to what works, right? He grins, hands at his hips.]

Of course I'm sure! I wouldn't have asked otherwise, right?

Besides, I'm getting pretty rusty, and with how much training YOU'VE been getting? Well, we'll have to see how well I can keep up with you.

[Action] Okay~

[sacred_flamer]

[It always does; Luke brightened a little, a smile coming to his face.]

Okay. I'm not going to go easy on you though.

Heheheh. You know I'd hold it against you if you did!

[Kinda feels like home, for a few weird moments. Dropping everything to make sure Luke had what he needed.

He tries not to let the nostalgia die because of the circumstances. It'll keep his spirits up. And, at the very least, Luke needed to see that.]
