::Sato doesn't take offense at that, she just scoops up the flowers and sits down on the chair::
Don't I know it, stud. A real b***h.
::She looks at the flower band::
Hey.. what's with this thing?

Well you said it not me- *Luke cuts himself off as he watches her plop down in the chair and pick up the flower chain that Maggie made.*
*Sparing only a moment to shock, Luke frowns and heads over to where she's sitting.*
*When he reaches her, he orders.* Stand up and put that back down.

*At the question, Luke pauses and gets his emotions in check. It wasn't Sato's fault. (Or Maggie's). Christ. He had to stop being a -d**k- about this.*
*in a softer, controlled voice* Just ... Get up and I'll tell you, okay?

::Sato's eyes narrow. She can hear the strain in his voice when he speaks. She waits a moment::
.... Fine.
::Sato gets up and walks over to the nearest table, still holding the flowers::
I'll meet you halfway.

*Luke nods. It's not what he wants, but at least halfway's a place to start. He joins her, standing at the table.*
I've been telling people over the past couple weeks. I don't know how much you know, or what you know about this place.
Has anyone told you about the Seraphim?

::Sato nods::
Yeah. That freakshow... Uh... Tavin, I think it was. The dude's like his rival or something ******** stupid like that. If you believe his crap.

*Luke smirks at her, grateful that she shares that sentiment.*
Yeah, if you believe -any- of the crap either of them say about this place. *Which I don't.*
*He speaks in a bitter, curt voice.* Well, I got to meet the Seraphim in person. He doesn't just go after Tavin. He went after Cora. Then, he went to Maggie's time -- Maggie? You know, five foot nothing, weighs like 10 pounds? He went after her AND her five-year-old son.
*Luke glares downward as he remembers.* Only this time, he didn't just take someone.
*Now for the hard part* Did you...Did you ever meet a woman named Karebana Hajime?

Okay. *Luke nods, glad she hadn't.* Well, I hadn't either.
*His voice is clear but detached.* The Seraphim took her from here. He told her to join him against Tavin. And she didn't. *He finds himself smirking for the slightest moment. The smirk fades, but his words still hold pride.* She cursed him out. She called him out, and she fought him.
*He shakes his head and keeps his eyes trained away from Sato's.* But when she did that... he didn't just kick the s**t out of her and send her back. *swallow* He killed her. He killed her, because she wouldn't listen to his bullshit.
*Luke feels blood rushing to his head, but he keeps himself in check. After a long moment, he clears his throat and points to the flowers Sato has.* That's what the flowers are about.

::Sato nods::
You for real?
::Sato's eyes squint again as she looks at him. His demeanor, his reactions::
... You KNOW this is for real, don't you.

*Clearly upset, Luke's eyes widen and he snaps at her.*
Sorry, you know, I don't just go making s**t like this up for the hell of it.

::Sato shakes her head::
I thought that perhaps you had heard about it from someone else.
::Sato walks back over to the chair and places the flowers on it::
....rest easy, warrior.
::She turns back to Luke::
Perhaps I'm wrong. maybe you aren't a kid at all.
::She thinks for a moment::
What's this guy look like?

*Luke's relieved when she puts the flowers back. Even more relieved to hear that maybe -just maybe- the ******** nicknames will stop. But that's where his relief begins and ends.*
*answers her* Like a ******** midget. He's like 5'3". Weighs a buck-fifty soaking wet. I was ready to wipe the floor with his a**.
*keeps describing* He's got grey hair and grey eyes. *makes a fist* And the most infuriating little <********> smirk...
*stops. pauses. continues.* And it looks like you can take him on. No problem. *lays down the law* But you can't. Trust me on it.
So do me a favor. If you DO see him, don't make a stand. Don't get a good second look. Just get your key and get out of here.

::Sato nods::
Luke looks deathly serious.
::Sato hears something...::
... my key? That's right... I can use that to get out of here.
