Workaholic, so rarely around. When he was, forget he had sons and or more than the one (me). Mother always commandeered lion's share of his attention, not that we ever competed for it. Why bother when he clearly wasn't interested in anyone other than her. Better to ignore him, which was very easy to do.

Died of a heart attack and wasn't missed by us at all. Didn't even bother attending the service. Never visited the grave site, either.

Not surprising his absence on today's curse.

Aw.

[valentineluke]

Compelled by curse to make a statement.

[sympathyforme]

I figured, luckily I've been spared.

[valentineluke]

I take it yours wouldn't win "Father of the Year" award either?

[sympathyforme]

...

He would. Actually.

(Private)

[valentineluke]

'He' as in God, correct?

(Private)

[sympathyforme]

Nope.

That one'd be a bit too high up for you to talk about.

Re: (Private)

[valentineluke]

Good. The less said about Him the better.

(Private)

[sympathyforme]

Oh, look, we still agree on stuff!

Re: (Private)

[valentineluke]

Did you attend Hatter's party? I didn't go out of my way to actively sense known presences.

(Private)

[sympathyforme]

[He's also canonically impossible to sense, so.]

I went to babysit.

Re: (Private)

[valentineluke]

Setsuna. of course.

(Private)

[sympathyforme]

Have it all figured out, hm?

Re: (Private)

[valentineluke]

Did spot him in the crowd. Besides, who else are you protective of?

(Private)

[sympathyforme]

Of course you did. He's hard to miss.

That'd be telling~!

Re: (Private)

[valentineluke]

He have any connection to the outside power surge?

(Private)

[sympathyforme]

Setsuna?

Setsuna's not very connected.

Re: (Private)

[valentineluke]

I won't press further.

[worldofourown]

You had a brother?

Re: Private

[valentineluke]

One, yes. No other siblings.

Private

[worldofourown]

I see.

Was he ever in the City? Or has it always been you alone out here?

Re: Private

[valentineluke]

He has, but I don't have the memory of it.

Private

[worldofourown]

In some respects, that's convenient.

In others... [Well. It just reminds him of Solomon. Bespelled with no memory of his own family.]

Re: Private

[valentineluke]

Hmm.

[shall_yield_us]

How... anticlimactic.

[valentineluke]

Wasn't worth even considering cutting the brake lines for.

[captaininnuendo]

And I finally learn something personal about you... along with the rest of the City. I wish you'd had a better experience, Luke.

Re: || audio

[valentineluke]

No loss.

I prefer coffee over tea, and am a natural blond.

|| audio

[captaininnuendo]

And I prefer beer over coffee at the moment and am a natural brunette. I think we've grown. [Not really, but it sounded good.]

Re: || audio

[valentineluke]

Already six foot four, I don't need further inches added.

|| audio

[captaininnuendo]

I was more implying personally, but hey… good one.

Re: || audio

[valentineluke]

A little levity was called for.

[private]

[jiyuna_togabito]

Reminiscing, Luke?

Re: [private]

[valentineluke]

No, merely cursed into making a statement.

Re: [private]

[jiyuna_togabito]

And quite the bold statement it is. A reminder that even you were once human, hm?

Re: [private]

[valentineluke]

Really? Doesn't appear particularly bold to me.

Contrary to the popular belief harbored and spread by humans, they are not the only ones to have feelings and or a soul.

Re: [private]

[jiyuna_togabito]

With much feeling.

And you take pride in this fact?

Re: [private]

[valentineluke]

'Monotone' is more like it. Mother on the other-hand, invoked strong feelings - few of them positive.

Well, the falsehood is a human construct that allows them to kill the otherwise and then be able to sleep at night.

Re: [private]

[jiyuna_togabito]

My mistake. [He gave a playful shrug.]

Certainly. How deadly and powerful a guilty conscious can be.

[Something that doesn't exist for a demon like himself, which he prided himself in. The only true way to be strong.]

Re: [private]

[valentineluke]

Vampire hunter can't acknowledge I am capable of love, able to form family ties, or watch Disney movies - it'd blow their mind.

Re: [private]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He couldn't picture this one bit with Luke.]

Heh, something you'd think of doing just to get a kick out of it.
