Compliments were always a good way to win a person over. Lucas tried not to make it look like he noticed the little lip twitch but he saw it and gave a tiny knowing grin of his own.
He winced at the loud cough but went on as if nothing happened. A loud cough could tell him something was wrong if something WAS wrong but it wasn't so Rasmus Runes was in the clear. If that huge file with lots of notes from the personnel staff had anything to tell him though, it was that Mr. Runes was bound to return soon after this visit.
"Mulberry? Sounds delicious." Another joke. Because, you know, mulberry pie.
It should be noted that Lucas was not the best at jokes. In fact, he was really bad at them. He could never remember how they started. Only the punch lines. And most of the time, he was the only one laughing. A few times people pity-chuckled for him.
"Oh, so you're not staying in the town long? Have you been here for awhile? I just moved here actually." He did not say from where. The last thing he needed was for a hypochondriac to know he had possible healing abilities. Though wouldn't it be ironic that after all Mr Rune's visits, there did end up being something wrong with him? But that was why Lucas took this examination very seriously. All the blood tests had been recently done and as far as he could tell, his sixth sense was giving off any bad signs. So it looked like Mr Runes would live to worry another day.
Lucas grinned. "Well. I like Pixar movies." But he wasn't about to get into a movie debate with a stranger. That would have been rude. "People are still on their phones in the movie theater?" He frowned as he picked up a new form and began to write notes of today's exam for the file. "I would think there would be more, I don't know, demons or something running amok if it were an apocalypse. Or at least, dinosaurs. I did like the new Jurassic Park movies. Don't tell me they were bad. I'll never compliment your hair again if you do."
