♡ • with ryker.
of all things, luca certainly wasn’t expecting ryker lovell to be his source of comfort & reassurance. hearing the other’s voice makes him pause for a moment: now isn’t the time for a fight, he reminds himself. he can’t help but wonder if ryker had witnessed his interview– if he has seen the way luca cowered away like an obedient puppy when esme was put in harms way. he shivers at the thought and, again, reminds himself that this is no time for petty, over-protective, big brother mode: it was time to GET REAL … ryker was offering luca an escape from silence. ❛ yeah, probably. ❜ he swallows around the weight of their words, his profound bluntness managing to be fear inducing & comforting all at once. YEAH, PROBABLY. they’re surrounded by killers– monsters. ❛ you, um— you watch any of the tapes ? ❜ his earlier question echos in his head: did ryker witness luca’s weakness ? did he see the way his heart broke on camera, out there for everyone to see ?
ryker wasn't very good in these situations.. but considering their circumstances, he'd have to learn. he took a long drag from his cigarette, exhaling slowly in an attempt to give his brain longer to think of something comforting. his brain failed. ryker glanced sideways at luca's question, licking his lips before speaking. "yeah... i did." he replied simply, giving a nod.
he didn't know how luca would feel about that and it made him wonder what he thought ryker was thinking about it all.
