Re: quicklog: wren, luke, jack
[Luke smiled.] Right. [Neither were very practical job-wise, but hobbies weren't a bad thing.] You never know. You could hit it big. [It was a joke, mostly, and he watched Lia for a few seconds, marvelling at how absolutely carefree she was, before looking back at his friend.] I used to do stuff like that too, and I never liked it much either. I get it. [If he'd thought Jack had any interest in law enforcement, he'd have offered his help in a heartbeat. But the government thing hadn't worked out, and he had no reason to think his friend wanted to be a cop; sometimes even he had trouble toeing the line.]
You'll find something. [Maybe words didn't mean much, but he meant them all the same. He reached down absently to scratch behind the dog's ear, and his tail drummed a steady thump-thump-thump against the carpet.] Thanks. [He did believe that things were getting better, just... slowly. Luke wished it'd speed up even just a little. He shrugged when Jack asked how bad the down days got.] They're manageable. It was pretty bad after we first got back, but it's not like that anymore. I guess... I wish I could just blink and make it all go away, but it doesn't work like that. [He glanced up and over.] How about you?
