[IS LAVI GOING TO THE CHURCH AT ANY POINT LATER TODAY i hope he is or i'll have to rewrite my starter.

Anyway Lucas is here! He's sitting in a back pew, hands clasped together and eyes closed. He seems to be concentrating very intently on whatever he's currently praying about.]

[bookpapers]

[no they're at the outhouse together now actually,

Lavi will approach, though he'll sit on the edge of the pew and wait for Lucas to finish praying -- or take advantage of this moment of utter solitude to look incredibly exhausted. either way he will wait as lucas prays and hears goat demon noises]

[faithkept]

[NOT THE OUTHOUSE PRAYERS also damn showing some vulnerability in front of god but not Lucas huh... HE SEES!!!

Well, he'll come to the end of his prayer sooner rather than later, if only because he can sense he's no longer alone. Glancing up and over:]

...How are you holding up?

[bookpapers]

[STOP LISTEN

Lavi thinks of all the answers he could say right here and now, all the different lies he could tell while in the house of God,]

I wish there had been time to talk to her.

[faithkept]

[He could lie in the house of God but then God would strike him down, and he'd have to rest in pieces next to nipplesless Rondo.]

...Yes. I wish so, too. [A beat. He folds his hands.] She was incredibly kind and sweet.

[bookpapers]

[give rondo back his nipples...

...]

Even in the end, she was trying to help us.

[could there be a chance she'd been lying? he considers it. because he always will. but he won't voice it.]

[faithkept]

[i hate it here

Lavi's out here being so sussy as a fellow lyin binch, but Lucas, ironically, tends to believe in the good of a human heart. The idea she might have been lying doesn't so much as cross his mind.]

She was able to help herself, too.

[Now she won't kill again, or have to be executed. Fuckin RIP Erin though.]

[bookpapers]

[Lucas.... He really is a pure guy <-- lavi's thoughts, which i also agree with except I also know his LORE, which doesn't disprove his purity. he is a very pure nice guy and pure serial killer.]

...Would you have done the same thing? If it was you in that situation?

[faithkept]

[STOP NOT A PURE SERIAL KILLER.

Also what a question. Lucas is quiet for a little while, looking forward toward the altar. Their godless fckin altar.]

...I would like to say that I would. I wouldn't wish to kill anyone... I wouldn't want to cause such harm, or be lost within myself.

[SPOOKY.]

Do you think that you would?

[bookpapers]

[LAVI DOESN'T THINK THIS IS SPOOKY PHRASING, UNFORTUNATELY.]

...I'm not sure. I don't want to kill anyone either, or fall to a monster's influence... But I have a duty to keep living for, no matter what.

[and then he sighs, and leans slightly against Lucas, this tiny man]

But if Yuu's there... then he won't let me live long enough to hesitate.

[he says this like he's grateful for it]

[faithkept]

[THIS TINY MAN!! It's okay. So many people are leaning against him lately. He reaches up to reflexively pat Lavi's head again, letting him lean however he pleases.]

...You make it sound like that's a good thing. Do you feel that it is?

[Not having the room to hesitate, even with a duty to live for no matter what. He guesses it takes the pain of having to make an impossible decision out of one's hands.]

[bookpapers]

[well, the direct question has him subside a little, still leaning against Lucas the even tinier man, as Lavi really thinks about it -- the implications, and his complicated relationship with Kanda,]

...No. I don't want to burden Yuu like that. Even though I know he'd do it.

Maybe I'll be myself long enough to remember that, if I'm in that situation.

[faithkept]

[gay..........

Lucas doesn't think that, but he does wonder a bit how the two of them function together. Just in a general sense of being curious about their relationship as coworkers in what's essentially one of the most hellish jobs a person could theoretically have.]

...I will hope that such a situation doesn't happen. But in the event that it does, I hope you can be yourself long enough to remember, too. It seems like such a little thing to ask for.
