there was part of luca that was wishing he’d made far different life choices, anything that could lead him away from the moment he was having. it was... awkward. he’d stepped into the elevator while not paying attention, and the second he looked up he’d found that he was face to face with arnauld d’orleans for the first time since the invasion ended. and it wasn’t like he could just... ignore him. but how was he supposed to address him, now? he settled on just treating him like he would have before, managing to steel his voice before he asks, “arnauld, how have you been?” as if they were old friends and not literal enemies just a few months before.
