(I've fallen asleep in the bathtub, but that was by accident.)
(I've fallen asleep in the bathtub, but that was by accident.)
Lucas nodded and said "there might be a sleeping problem, both rooms are filled already and the couch is already taken."
He smiled small anyways.
"But you can join us I guess, we could rearrange and make room if we need to, one or two of you might have to sleep on the floor or in the bathtub." He told Alastor.
I call dibs on the floor," Alastor said, already used to doing that anyways. It was more tolerable when you had a fluffy dog to be your pillow too.
Lucas nodded and smiled.
"Good deal." He said and smiled at all of them.
"I think maybe I might end up sleeping in the bathtub, but that mean someone would have to sleep in a bed with Devon, and he is very distant" he explained to them all.
Lucas nodded and smiled.
"Good deal." He said and smiled at all of them."I think maybe I might end up sleeping in the bathtub, but that mean someone would have to sleep in a bed with Devon, and he is very distant" he explained to them all.
"Who's Devon?" Alastor asked curiously. He didn't recall Lucky mentioning him.
Lucas nodded and smiled.

Lucas tensed and sighed.
"this guy in our group, we have June, who's very social she practically jumped out of the car that they were hiding out in to introduce herself to me." He explained "Devon is her older brother, at least I think he's olderβ¦he's reallyβ¦protective andβ¦closed."
Lucas tensed and sighed.

"Ok," Alastor shrugged, unconsciously accepting the challenge of getting this guy to open up to him. "As long as he won't, y'know, try to murder us while we sleep I think it'll be alright."
(hes a pacifist, he only looks like he'd kill someone lol)
Lucas tensed and sighed.

Lucas laughed.
"No." He said heartily "I don't think Devon would do that, I think he just takes a while to warm up to people."
Lucas laughed.
"No." He said heartily "I don't think Devon would do that, I think he just takes a while to warm up to people."
"That's even better," Alastor chuckled, giving Zeus another piece of beef jerky.
Lucas laughed.
"No." He said heartily "I don't think Devon would do that, I think he just takes a while to warm up to people.""That's even better," Alastor chuckled, giving Zeus another piece of beef jerky.
Lucas smiled at both Alastor and Zeus, her dug a toy bone out of his bag and set it on the ground for Zeus to chew on if he got bored of eating.
"So what breed is he?" He asked, looking at Zeus and then back up to Alastor.
Lucas laughed.
"No." He said heartily "I don't think Devon would do that, I think he just takes a while to warm up to people.""That's even better," Alastor chuckled, giving Zeus another piece of beef jerky.

"So what breed is he?" He asked, looking at Zeus and then back up to Alastor.
"German Shepherd," Alastor replied as Zeus happily bit through the new toy. "He's the reason I'm still alive right now, honestly."
Liam put his now empty cup in a trash can and walked over to Al and Lucas. "And Al's the reason I'm alive." he said and gave Zeus a head pat and ear scrunch. "I'm Liam by the way."
Liam put his now empty cup in a trash can and walked over to Al and Lucas. "And Al's the reason I'm alive." he said and gave Zeus a head pat and ear scrunch. "I'm Liam by the way."
Lucas looked at Liam and smiled.
"Lucas, if I get to know you all well enough, you can call me Luke." He told Liam."I think we all have someone to be thankful for, in this situation."
"I had a dog back home named Clover, she was a red lab and spaniel mix, she had like red tinted fur and she was bigger than the average spaniel and she had big floppy ears and a long tailβ¦"
Lucas' smile flickered for a second.
"Last I heard she's okay, she's still alive and with my younger sister, who survived the flu as well."
"She sounds wonderful." He said. "Do you have any other siblings?" he asked carefully. People could be touchy on the subject of family.
"She sounds wonderful." He said. "Do you have any other siblings?" he asked carefully. People could be touchy on the subject of family.
Lucas smiled and waited for a moment before answering.
"No," he said at last, the image of Gabriella popping into his mind. "It's only the two of us, she's 14 now, her birthday was right before my parents died."
"14?" he asked. "I'm 14."
"14?" he asked. "I'm 14."
Lucas nodded and smiled.
"I hope you're not like my sister, she acts like everyone's the worst person ever." He said quietly "though im sure shes changed since this all started.
"I don't think everyone's the worst person ever." Liam thought about it. "At least not all the time."
"I don't think everyone's the worst person ever." Liam thought about it. "At least not all the time."
Lucas smiled strongly at this comment.
"Good." He said gladly.
He took a long sip on his slushie and smiled.
"What's the green flavor supposed to be?" He asked curiously.
(Ariella isn't gonna like new people either)
(Well, this'll be fun)
"I have no Idea." Liam said slowly. "But it was good!"
Lucky made it back to the apartment and dismounted. He slung the saddlebags over his shoulders and walked in. "I got slushies, guys!" He set two down on the coffee table for Devon and June, before going to find Ariella in the kitchen. "Got you a green one, I think it's sour apple and you like apples, right?" He winked at her and held out the drink. "Wanted to let you know⦠We might be getting more people. Just a heads up." He smiled at her, trying to set her at ease about the idea. "2 guys, a girl, and a dog."
"I have no Idea." Liam said slowly. "But it was good!"
Ronni tapped the side of the truck. The guys were talking, which was great, they were all getting along just fine, but she was ready to hunker down somewhere, and it was starting to get dark.
She hopped up in the driver's seat and hotwired the truck again, before revving the engine at the guys. C'mon fellas!
Ariella had a glass of water, sipping it and leaning against the counter. She had pulled osome food she found, just some Ramen and a couple cams of soup. They would need to light a fire to cook it but atleasr it was something.
She looked at the slushy Lucky held out for her. She was surprised the machine was still on.
She murmured a thank you as she took and began to sip on it.
She stiffed at the news of other joining them. She wasn't comfortable with that. She didn't like it. She had only just gotten used to Lucky. She was still wary of the others. She gave Lucky a look that translated she'd rip him a new one later. She had a feeling he was the initiator for the addition of these new people. "Do we need to look for a bigger apartment?"

Alastor saw Ronni get into the truck and he walked out of the building, Zeus following closely behind at his heels. Before he got into the passenger's side, he opened the back door for his dog who quickly leaped in, wagging his tail excitedly at the thought of a car ride. Alastor then got into the front, giving Ronni a small smile.
