He wasn't surprised she was startled, he often had a habit of sneaking up on people. "Don't apologise, it is I who should be apologising to you."

Kind was how many people viewed him. The Professor who was kind to others and gave his time to benefit the people of Loveland City with his research. "Amelia? That's a pretty name, suits a pretty girl like you." A soft smile made its way onto his lips. "I'm Lucien."

Well perhaps it was true what the people said or perhaps it wasn't. Amelia would have to find that out for herself. "There's no need to thank me, I just speak the truth." Another chuckle left him and he nodded, his hands in the pockets of his lab coat. "My name is unique."

You are aware that excess caffeine actually limits some key functions of the body, right? I wouldn't advise excessive consumption.

You will regret it tomorrow. You will feel more tired as your body tries to catch itself up. I would advise only one or two cups today, and perhaps an energising smoothie as a substitute.

Of course it matters, you underestimate me, your Highness.

Who said that's all I see? Ares needs the Queen, however Lucien needs Mirah. You see now?

Oh but alas, I never said you were, dear Mirah. However you have accepted my help thus far with my apartment though. Clearly some part of you still trusts me.

My actions are contradictory? How so? Professor Lucien is the good guy here, it is Ares who is not. Why do you think so? Do you struggle to differ between the two?

I can understand that, but perhaps that's what makes it part of the fun for me.

Am I? I don't think I am.

Are you sure? You can't deny that your excitement has been peaked, even if ever so slightly.

Maybe not, but I'm still correct in my findings.

I do say so.

Who knows when I'll change again? It depends when I am needed.

Tell me, Mirah.. Why do you need Lucien?

Are you saying you want to be close to me?

You mean when we frequented the orphanage together and I used to walk you home?
