Re: Lucas/Isobel/Obed - 7:30 p.m., hanging around
Lucas turned away from the concierge when he heard his name and smiled happily, waving at the approaching Isobel and another man walking towards her. "Hey, Isobel," he said warmly, and try as he might, he couldn't help his eyes from briefly shifting to her abdomen, as if checking for signs of a baby bump, which there wasn't any evidence of. Either he'd been wrong, or...
He quickly snapped his eyes away and back to them. "Ohh, uhh..." he stammered, "We're not...I mean, we're friends," he said of Alice. Truth be told, he'd been looking for her tonight too, but he hadn't spotted her.
He shook Obed's hand and smiled. "Don't I know it," he laughed, "I'm a doctor, so my schedule is often all over the place. What do you do, if you don't mind my asking?" He took the opportunity to admire their masks, as beautiful and mysterious (or perhaps not so mysterious anymore) as his own.
