[catchall] Shoma

This is the vibe from your profile

[ he will let it pass to focus on the other part, too. this is a little more important, and he's watching luke's expression and reading through his emotions to see how it all adds up. ]

...you did look like you knew each other pretty well. [ childhood friends to lovers...? he does not say this, but he kind of vaguely wonders. ] It's hard not to care about people you know for that long. Even harder not to think they're a good person when they've been around and have supported you that long, too. [ ... ] Does she always go with you for these things?

No. [Immediately!! He actually looks--not upset, exactly, but unhappy.] I told her not to come with me, but she insisted.

[And... he'd figured he could at least make sure she was protected if she was with him, so he'd eventually relented--but he still regrets it, knowing that it led to her seeing him that way.]

[ hm... ]

You managed to keep her safe. [ said more like a statement even if it's a question. like maybe in doing so, revealing the true nature of what luke's had to do isn't the worst outcome. ]

...That time. [He'll acknowledge that much.] But even I can't be everywhere at once. She doesn't need to be in any more danger than she normally is.

[There's a huge difference between normal city dangers and getting involved with tracking down serial killers, he thinks,,]

But she's probably going to keep asking to come, isn't she? I doubt she wants you to be in danger either even though you know what you're doing.

No, she's usually pretty good about staying uninvolved. This case was an exception. [SHOCKINGLY. Though it's more because she respects that his work is meant to be classified than anything else... and he doesn't comment on what she wants for his safety, because. Well. If he thinks about it too hard his heart will do all kinds of things, both good and bad, and he doesn't want that slipping past his emotional shields.]
