Re: quicklog: wren, luke, jack
[Luke knew all about fine, but he didn't think Jack was lying. He didn't think things were bad and he was trying to pretend, and he liked to think he could read people decently well, enough to know. Especially people he'd known for years and years.] Good. [Because it was good, that he had employment and a place to live. Like Wren, he only wanted good things for their friends. And it was hard to think of anything bad when the kids were around, Gus pleased to see Jack and Lia happy to have a foot to sit on. She was friendly, the baby-- maybe too friendly, too trusting (even though logically he knew that was normal) but those dark worries had no place here. She was safe.]
She likes people, as you can tell. [He smiled down at Lia, only half listening as Wren asked if he needed help lifting boxes. He knew she wasn't asking for herself. It was probably for Evie, because a lot of things were for Evie these days and he knew how much she wanted to help her friend. And that was good. He'd been alone, alone, alone, but she deserved better. She deserved to have help.
Like Lia, Cygne was just as friendly but ten times more impossible now that she was fully grown instead of a puppy. Finch always, always listened. She didn't. Not that Luke wasn't fond of the dog, he was, but Finch would always be his. Even now, there was no jumping up or barking from him. No, he was a good dog, and if anyone who wasn't a friend walked through that door they'd be very, very sorry. As for Jack's question, he'd already decided not to tell him everything. It wasn't that he didn't trust Jack, but he'd worry. If he knew that he was seeing dead people, he'd worry. If he knew that Wren still thought the kids were ghosts more often than not, he'd worry. Luke didn't want him to worry.] We're okay. Wren's trying to help Evie find work, and I've still got my job.
