“My type? Are you hitting on me, Goldstein?”

“In your wildest dreams, but no I am not currently flirting with you.”

“I think those people are usually referred to as ‘normal’.”

“I guess you’re right about that.”

“Well for starters, I don’t think you’re a fool.” When he turned the conversation to her, she froze up a bit. “I’m awfully boring, so that’s something. And if you need proof of that, I just spent several hours re-reading books on Shakespeare. I haven’t read them since the beginning of this year so I thought it was a good time to refresh my memory. I’m sort of obsessed with him. Playwrights in general really.”

“Well, if you’re into the thing with books, I am sure it would quite interesting.” Lucas smiled politely, he was not into books that much, but he assumed for the other it was her escape from the real world. “So is that what you do for fun? Read?” Lucas questioned.

“I should hope it‘s the good kind of speechless Mr. Goldstein.”

“Of course nothing but the best thoughts come to my mind when I think of you.” Lucas joked.

“I have that kind of effect on people.” Lalita grinned, shoulders shrugging slightly.

“Oh and I am sure with that attitude you take it as a compliment?” Lucas raised eyebrow in wonder.

“I’m just speechless and I am never speechless. Impressive.”

“I never said you being a total dick would help me either,” she grumbled back, internally appreciating the rather witty and snarky response.

“So asshole isn’t your type?” Lucas noted.

“I can’t deny that there’s definitely pros and cons for either side.”

“Couldn’t agree more. I think people are also a mix of both.”

“The same to you. I’ve always been better at listening than talking anyways,” Charlie admitted with a gentle chuckle.

“Well, you’ve done an excellent job. But please tell me something about yourself so I don’t feel like a fool for the rest of the day.”

Lorcan shook his head once more, “I don’t know how to handle it,” He muttered as his fingers drummed against his knees anxiously, “I never have.”

“Well, with that attitude, yeah you won’t be able to.” Lucas rolled his eyes. Yeah, he knew what is was like to be in Lorcan’s position and yeah, that’s kind of why he chose drugs. But he wasn’t going to let Lorcan be all negative and hopeless, he hated watching people give up.

owen smirked. “depends, what can you give me that i would need? – did you find out the mysterious ingredient of that one potion or – what do have?”

“I have a lot, but it depends what you need. But you know me, homework isn’t my forte so anything other than that.”

“Definitely the last on…and the first.”

“Well, you came to the right person. So, what’s your poison of choice?”

Lorcan shook his head. It wasn’t entirely the truth but it wasn’t entirely a lie either. Julia was on his mind but she wasn’t causing this, “I’m just… stressed is all,” He managed to say between breaths. Now that was the truth. With everything he had going on, stress was always a problem with him. Sometimes it got too much.

“Understandable,” Lucas nodded his head. He knew about stress, and despite what he thought about Lorcan he knew he probably felt an immense amount of stress. “We all get like that.” He reminded the other, “But it’s how we handle the stress that defines us.”

“Nah, I had a shitty day and I’m tired. I don’t want your stupid pity help.”

“Well, then would you rather have me tell you to get over it?”

“That’s true, we’re not the only ones who think so. Thank Merlin – or I’d think we’re the only sane people on the planet.”

“I wouldn’t want to be the only sane people, but then again being slightly insane is always slightly fun.”

“Don’t be sorry,” Charlie insisted, listening to everything he said and finding bits and pieces in his words that she could relate to. “Sometimes we need to vent to a stranger. No shame in that.”

Lucas smiled lightly, “Well, thank you. You seem to be a great listener. If you ever need someone to talk to, you can find me, so I can repay the favor.”

Lorcan nodded, not knowing if it would work as it didn’t always but knowing he would try with help He inhaled a shaky breath and then exhaled but it was raspy and it was not at all slow. In fact, his breath rate was racing just as his heart rate and mind were.

“Okay, keep trying to do that. So what’s on your mind anyways? A girl?” Lucas asked, not really knowing what else to do. He wasn’t the greatest at helping people, he just gave me them drugs and told them they’d be fine in an hour. He didn’t want to treat Lorcan like this though.
