 HELLO, DIRECTOR! (JACK!)

It's an otherwise unremarkable day in Jack's office, when the Director suddenly hears singing coming from down the corridor. Incredibly loud singing. So loud, in fact, he can clearly make out the words even before it gets closer.

Jack would recognise the approaching voice, especially given it's belting out "La Marseillaise".

The good news is he doesn't crash through the wall. When the singing gets loud enough Lucien is obviously right in front of the door, the song fades out and he starts knocking. Thunderously. To the tune of the chorus.

Aux armes, citoyens...

Lucien throws the door open and strides in triumphantly, beaming at Jack!

"DIRECTOR!"

"Lucien."

Jack smiles back.

"You're as loud as ever."

"I cannot help that I am full of burning passion!"

He produces a folder from behind him, it looks tiny in his massive hand!

"The report of my latest mission! I defeated many of your enemies!"

"That's wonderful, thank you."

Jack goes to take the folder, then drop it on his desk.

The fact he has someone cleaning up after him is making his messy habits worse.

"So you're back for a while, then?"

The whole thing seems kind of like when a cat brings its human a dead mouse.

"Probably! Who knows when they'll need me out there again?"

He pauses for a moment, to let the question sink in, and some realisation.

"Well, probably you Directors! How silly of me!"

He chuckles and if Jack didn't know better it'd almost sound like it makes an echo.

"How...wonderful."

Jack laughs lightly.

He's getting a headache already.

"Well, it's good to have you home."

"And to be home, for the holidays!"

He always comes home for the holidays. They're a time he can give killing Imperials and beating up other villains a rest.

They'd be a lot quieter.

QUIET IS BORING.

"I'm flattered, Director! But enough about me!"

He sweeps an arm out to indicate the tidier desk. "You have conquered the Mount Everest of paperwork in my absence I see!"

"You'd like her."

"Most likely. She's very nice."

And able to deal with everyone he's seen, so far.

"Tell me about this mystery assistant!"

It's easy to get Lucien excited about things.

"And she uses that to be a secretary?"

It seems like a waste of potential skills!

"Well, it seems to be doing you good!"

Which is to say, Jack hadn't been asleep at the desk this time.

Lucien seems to be pondering if he could get a secretary, if he kills enough Imperial scum.

"It leaves you more time to spend with the family!"

And what a family it was! The Gavyns - ah, Makaila now? - kids were adorable! "And how are they? I have yet to say hello to the doctor!"

"She's doing well. Lots of agents have been keeping her company, which is good. And I've taken to teaching Terry how to use knives, which so far has gone well since he still has all his fingers."

He's clearly kidding about the last part.

Clearly...

"Tell me if he needs extra training - I will give him the strength of a bear, and the discipline of a soldier!"

Lucien gets overexcited and flexes a little!

"I am surprised he's not already a student here, at his age!"
