Observing the weak smile, Lucas shook his head ever so slightly, the need to hold a facade always escaping him. Then again he knew because of his power and views that his emotional range was utterly diminshed from what it should be, going as far to say that it could very well border into psychopathy if not for the environment he was within.
Listening carefully to Shio's explanation he couldn't help but feel some of his questioned were answered, the comments earlier of hospital lights making more sense and generally things seeming more logical and understandable then they did earlier. Seeming intent on just listening it took up until the point she was apologizing for her proximity that he finally reacted, holding up a hand to try and halt her Apology.
" What you ask of me, may very well be beyond my capabilities... I lost my fears when i died.." a pause as Lucas was visibly trying to recall the years. " ..Eight years ago so i can only make assumptions" he said, almost too casually for someone being serious about an actual death. " Fight or Flight.... it seems to me you are caught between the two... you know you will tire if you run and it will eventually consume you.. but at the same time i wonder if you have found the right source of motivation to fight, despite its inherent risk." Turning of side ways, he raised an arm and roughly pointed his hand out towards the manor " In there may very well lurk the motivation you need, fear alone is not enough.. and who knows you may even find more than just motivation in there"
