Sometime after the holidays, Lucien is stomping around campus, looking for Rhett!

He's not angry, more worried if anything. Stomping around is just sort of his default.

Rhett's eyes widen at the sound of said stomping, and as Lucien turns a corner, he sees Rhett trying to casually walk quickly in the other direction, trying to escape!

"Rhett, hold up!"

Lucien... starts to walk normally. But quickly.

He's catching up to Rhett, who thought he was safe!

He reaches out and puts a hand on Rhett's shoulder!

"Rhett! Is this any way to greet a friend after the holiday?"

Really now. He knows when he's being run from.

"EYAAAAH!"

Rhett cries out in surprise, turning towards Lucien!

"I mean.... heya. Hey yo. What's up? Didn't see you there."

"I'm back from the holidays!"

Though since they're done with, he doesn't know when Jack will send him back out into the field again. It could be tomorrow, it could be months from now. With that in mind, it was worth enjoying the time here while he had it to spend. It's fun to kill Imperial swine, but you need to put your feet up now and then, spend your time around people who aren't the enemy. And how many missions against those scum had he and Rhett been on together?

"How were yours? My family asked about you!"

And the whole gang!

"They were as relaxing as you might expect."

Rhett laughs, scratching the back of his neck.

"Your family always seems so nice. Maybe one day I'll meet them."

"They're sweet as can be!"

Lucien gets a slightly goofy smile on his face. Say what you will about how they'd raised him to lust for revenge, he still loves his family.

"You know you're always welcome in the neighbourhood. The Marais family would love to meet you."

"...maybe some time. I've been busy, you know? Just like I'm sure you have been too."

Rhett laughs again, a brief chuckle.

"Any time I have off, I usually have to head home."

"Of course I've been."

He'd not been back from the field for long at all! He understands, but somewhere in there it sounds like an excuse.

"How are things at home, anyway? They must be proud of such a great agent!"

"It's a family, there's not much to say. I'm sure they're proud, even if..."

Rhett frowns.

"...can we talk about something else?"

"Sure. Anything you like."

He likes talking to his buddy! Though his expression gets a little more serious - there's plenty he actually wants to say to Rhett.

"More like anything you like."

Rhett keeps frowning.

"You look like you've a got something on your mind."

"Many things. I'm not even sure where to start!"

Something rare as gold happens just then, Lucien actually frowns.

"I come back from the field, and everything is off. You act afraid of me, Josh seems to hate us, says you tried to steal Jan Di from him, she acts uncomfortable around all of us. I'm not stupid, Rhett, I picked up on the tension when we all met at that party - I want to help everyone, but I don't even know where to begin."

They're friends, but everyone'd been acting so strangely.

"You're very...loud. It's something I'm not used to, and I know Jan Di isn't either."

In some ways, she was like a cat who didn't like loud noises and slept a lot.

Maybe a lot like a cat.

"Josh overreacts to a lot of things. He was mad at you because you were in the way, and he's mad at me for supposedly taking away someone who isn't his in the first place."

"Not used to? We've known each other for so long."

Sure, Rhett's older than him, but Lucien is older than Josh, so. And the cat comparison makes sense - if women like Jan Di and Venus are cats, Lucien is a huge, friendly Rottweiler.

One trained to tear people's faces off.

"See, this is why I don't do committed relationships. Everything gets messy, and not in the good way."

Well, that and at any given time he's too busy worrying about his battles with the Empire. A woman, even one he likes, always comes second to the war they all fight.

"So he doesn't realise it's her choice to make?"

"You've been gone for a while."

It's the best he's got.

"I wouldn't say that about Josh, though. It's more like... he thinks there's a commitment when there hasn't been. To either of us."

Since he feels he probably has to clarify that.

"I'm sure it'll all work out, though. Don't worry too much about it."

"You're my friends, of course I'm going to worry. Especially when he looked half a second from going for your throat."

Lucien is used to being able to grab a problem in his hands and just solve it, with force if he has to.

"I guess I thought I'd come back from Europe and it'd be just like before I left, with the four of us."

"People change, big guy."

Rhett shrugs.

"Or sometimes you don't know them as well as you think. Just need to deal with it as it comes."

"Hm."

People change, indeed. After all, Rhett used to be... well, not as gung ho as Lucien, but he had the spine to go out there and fight the Empire with him at least. The only enemy that matters right now, short of demons like Rath coming back. He'd never call his buddy a coward, but come on, dude, people need you.

"Change I can deal with, I'm an adult. But I don't want the four of us losing what we have over something so silly."

"You 'stealing' Jan Di. She's not a necklace or a bauble, she's a person who'll decide for herself who she wants to be with and how serious a relationship she wants."

Yes, Rhett going after her was sort of technically a violation of The Code, but Lucien forgives these things! He knows he's not telling Rhett anything he's not already aware of - he's more stating where he stands on the matter.
