You think so? A lot of people would like being around a nice, polite guy like you.

[lucentia]

I've been told I'm quite serious and, at times, intimidating.

[handfast]

[ long stare





and then he reaches out to poke lucien in the cheek. idk how far away he is, hak will get up for this if he must. ]

[lucentia]

[wah]

—Hak?

[handfast]

Just making sure.

[ of what? ]

You've never struck me as intimidating.

[lucentia]

... And poking me affirmed this for you?

[handfast]

Yeah. If you attacked me, I might have changed my mind.

[lucentia]

Why would I attack you just for poking me?

[handfast]

Because you're intimidating.

[lucentia]

I don't think those two things are entirely related.

[handfast]

They could be. The point is, I don't think you're intimidating and if people knew you they wouldn't think so either.

[ unless you're about to tell me he's secretly a serial killer ]

[lucentia]

[imagine]

Thank you, Hak. Although I suppose I haven't been in work mode, so to speak, so perhaps you'd change your mind if you saw me then.

[handfast]

Are you worse than Soo-won?

[lucentia]

I haven't seen Soo-won at work.

[handfast]

I don't think he sleeps.

[lucentia]

I see. I try to sleep each night.

[handfast]

[ pats lucien solemnly on the back. ]

Keep doing that. Sleep is important.

[lucentia]

["try" is sometimes the operative word in there but dw.]

Indeed it is. I hope you get enough sleep as well, Hak.
