It felt like yesterday when The Professor pulled Lucas aside to give him an "exciting character building opportunity. That was because it was yesterday. He had woken up in his warm cozy dorm room yesterday morning, only to be whisked off to the "mission" the following night.
It was a solo mission, and Lucas had trouble keeping down the sense of pride he felt when he realized that Winter had trusted him so much as to send him off on his own. Though, it was a bit lonely. After actually bonding with people, he surprisingly began to miss them when he was away... A little. Especially...
No, don't think about him.
He sighed in frustration at the little flutter in his chest when Faust's goofy grin appeared in his mind. That earnest and niave little prick was the one thing to get him out of his shell, and now he was becoming... All emotional. It was sickening... But also kind of nice, maybe.
