[Luke is the busiest bee this week, and it shows. He has a lot of places to go, people to see, things to apologize for...
...In fact that's where he'll start. He'll pop in to where Kanaya works with a lot of embarrassment and a make-it-up-to-you present. It also gives him another chance to browse through the stuff in Mu's store and pick out a couple of things he thinks important people are going to like!
Then it's off to sulk in a corner of the coffee shop and hope Kon doesn't give him any grief about his black eye. He and his bratty cousin don't come to blows all that often anymore - Luke's an intern for the law and things like that shouldn't happen - but when it does, Vriska usually wins. He wishes it wouldn't happen so much. The girl ought to stop making fun of his sister!
Speaking of his sister. That's next on the list, after some quality time with a tea if he can get it - finding Xion and delivering to her a gift. Possibly receiving a lecture about the black eye. If Leaf or his uncle are hanging around, he'll be forced to submit to their interrogation too, won't he? Kidding! It doesn't feel like interrogation to talk to them most of the time. If Crazy Uncle Ichijou is around he will...do his best.
Then it's off to "work" for a couple of hours, though it's mostly filing papers and trying to keep his composure around Croix any time Terezi wanders into the building. The teasing would never stop. Never.
It's been a very long day by then, all right? So when he sits on a bench in the evening to fiddle around with his CAT...hey, he's still Luke no matter what, and what he types in is a short puzzle.]
What is it that is so very fragile that simply to say its name is to break it?
[[ooc: This is set on Wednesday because I am just that slow about life sometimes. So many names and places in here! Action me up, darlings~]]

[action]
Terezi.
Luke is blushing already.]
Um. U-Uh, I...well, it was a fight. But it's over and I don't really want to talk about it!
[action]
Luke...was someone bullying you again? If you don't tell me who was responsible, I won't know who to bring my fist of JUSTICE down upon their dumb, doofy heads!
[action]
Nobody was bullying me. I started it.
[action]
[long pause and then a wide grin.
that would have a hilarious end, as usual!]
So, Luke, why did you start it? Did someone entice you over to the dark side of criminals? Am I going to have to swoop in and rescue you from the dark temptation of something like cookies from the dark side?
[action]
Ugh, none of that stuff, Terezi! She was just making fun of my sister again and I pushed her because she shouldn't and it turned into a stupid fight!
[action]
Serket can't help it, it's like a compulsion. Even if she's gotten a little better over the years!
Maybe I'll say something to her.
But anyway, I have something that will make you feel better! Just close your eyes first.
[wild grinning time.]
[action]
[action]
[her grin becomes wider as she cackles.]
But I don't think it would be justified, since you already feel bad about it, right? Anyway, I promise it's nothing bad!
[action]
Well...all right.
[And he shuts his eyes and holds his breath.
Then one eye quickly pops open.]
You'd better not be about to lick me.
[Shut again.]
[action]
no, terezi, not a good idea, a thought in her mind voices, and for once she listens to logic over the potential amusement scale.
she takes a deep breath, and gives luke a nice hug, squeezing him very tightly. she can't remember when was the last time she's ever done this recently. maybe once or twice with kanaya and vriska. a couple of times with her mom...]
Okay, you can open your eyes now!
[action]
And not just because she's squeezing sore spots and bruises.
After a surprised silent length of time, he sputters a little bit and hugs her back. Much more gently.]
Thanks.
[action]
Anytime! It's what friends are for, right?
I wouldn't want you to be sad for so long. We're going to be working hard today, I can tell.
[action]
We work hard every day.
[action]
That's true! But I have this feeling we're going to end up working harder. Maybe we're getting the chance to come with Mister Washington on a criminal investigation!
[action]
[action]
Wouldn't you?
