[ ludger snorts, before some of the levity fades, replaced by a certain.. steely look. ]

... I'm going to switch to Cunning. And I'm going to keep looking for Fortune's killer.

[dupelicate]

[Luke's expression shifts, and he nods to Ludger's statement. It wasn't... a shock. But his expression had an edge to it that he hadn't really seen before.

But what else did he expect, when he'd just lost so much?]

Why Cunning? For his powers?

[chromatized]

... Ambition doesn't want him to die.

[ that's all. ]

[dupelicate]

[He nods again, exhaling a smile.]

You're pretty cool, Ludger.

[He holds out his fist.]

[chromatized]

[ ludger holds out his own. fist bump! ]

Oh, I know Julius would definitely say otherwise.

[dupelicate]

[he scoffs, bumping fists amicably.]

You know... I think he just wouldn't say it to you.

But he'd tell everyone else he met.

[ that gets a breath of laughter from ludger as he determinedly looks up at the sky. it's the sun that's making his eyes water, the sun! ]

How can you tell? Got a lot of experience with idiot older brothers?

[dupelicate]

[Luke mirrors Ludger, looking up at the same deeply interesting clouds, the clear blue of the sky.]

Hah, oh yeah... I guess you could say I can't shake him, no matter what I do.

[No matter where he went, even here... there he was.]

[chromatized]

[ that gets a chuckle from ludger. ]

Sounds like a clingy guy. Or a stubborn one?

Well, either way, he must care about you a lot.

[dupelicate]

[Luke exhales, short and happy.]

Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

[...]

Next time we see them, we should punch them. For always making us worry so damn much!

[chromatized]

I'll keep your idiot in place if you grab mine.

[ julius and guy(?) are doomed. ]

[dupelicate]

[honestly, they had it coming.]
