“S-Sorry, I cut sort of deep…” Lucas still seemed to want his face to be hidden. “You.. y-you don’t understand, my father… well, he likes to go hunting, and h-he has a rifle… I think he’s going to take it with him.”

Skye sighed, "again, I deal with dangerous people all the time, usually gangsters" he said softly. "I'm not going to get scared just cause he has a rifle…"

“Are you sure?” He has pretty good aim, even when drunk… Lucas clearly wasn’t getting any less nervous. “M-Maybe if I dyed my hair ginger he’d think I’m Claus and he won’t kill me?”

"I'm sure… Besides, where the heck would we get dye?" He said, "If It's not already obvious, I don't exactly have cash to spend…"

“I… I-I dunno… I’m just terrified of him, honestly…” He’s sort of trained me to be afraid.

"And that's okay… everyone is scared of something…"

(I feel like we should time skip to something. Maybe when mister cause of daddy issues shows up?)
Lucas nodded, finally pulling away from Skye. “Is it safe to leave or should we always stay here?”

"I don't advise heading outside alone… unless you know the area." He said.

(How do you mean?)
“Well, it’s been a long time since I even got out of my house, so I don’t know if I’ve ever even seen this place.”

"We're a good distance from where you ran into me…" he said quietly.
(Just roll with it and let them interact, and their relationship develop)

(Aight)
“Yeah… and it probably took me about ten or fifteen minutes of running full speed to get there. So what I’m saying is we’re not that far, and my legs hurt like hell.”

"No, we're pretty far," said Skye, "I move pretty fast.."

“Hard to say how fast I am… although I’ve heard fear can be a great motivator.”

Skye nodded, "mhm.. I can attest to that"

Lucas was quiet for a moment. “N-No one else knows you live here, right?”

"Only a close friend.." said Skye softly.

“S-So… it’s safe here?” Lucas asked nervously. It had been a while since he was in a safe place.

"For the most part.." said Skye.

“For.. for the most part? What do you mean?”

"It's as safe as you can get in this neihborhood." he said.

Lucas glanced around, looking anxious. “W-What’s dangerous? Are we in danger?”

Skye quickly tried to calm him, "Hey.. it's okay…" he said, "I'm just saying that this isn't the nicest neiborhood, and things like theft, and other stuff is common around here… but no one's going to come in here unless it's a homeless dude or another street kid looking for a place to stay.."

Still not reassuring, but you know. “Well, I’m sure it’s a hell of a lot better than my place anyhow…”

Skye nodded, "To be quite honest I've never had a problem unless some gang is trying to catch me for protecting other street kids from their thugs…. which is not the case right now.."
