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!
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?
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?"

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.
