"To read." Luke replied.
"I did bad things with my mana because I didn't read this." he said.
"So I'm reading it now." he told her.
"I'll read it while here, even if I have to start over when we're home." he went on.
"I can go into one of the rooms if you want." he then offered.
"So you don't have to see me or anything." he added.

"Do what you want." Anna said simply.
"I'm going to go and have a bath." She added before getting to her feet.
"So I will see you later. If you need me, just knock." She then said before heading into the room in question.
Luke watched her go, and sighed.
"...maybe I should go to the bedroom." he muttered.
He then noticed that there were two bedrooms... and one of them had two smaller beds, while one had a larger one. He could guess which room was meant for whom, so he went into the one with the two beds and shut the door.
Once he was in the room, he went to one of the desks, and continued reading.
"I did bad things." he said to himself.
"Because I didn't read this, I did bad things. So I will read this and not have any reward while here."

Anna just sighed as she got into the tub, not entirely sure what to make of it all.
What the hell has gotten into him? She wondered, making sure her thoughts were blocked so that Luke didn't hear them, nor could Lily. Andrew could though.
He's reading. And he looks like he's got no interest in anything else. She thought with a light sigh.
But hey. He can do his own thing.

Lily sighed as she sat outside, on the grounds of her highschool. She had no idea what was going on, but she did realize that as long as no one touched her... everything would be all right.
That was the problem though. She had gym next period. And they were doing gymnastics.
Which meant that she'd likely be touched by another. That was exactly what she did not want.
"Dammit." She muttered under her breath before sighing, knowing that she was very likely going to cause serious damage to someone.
She looked in the distance, and saw her brother sitting under a tree.
Ever since the incident with the plant at the house, he'd become more reserved and studious, and took mistakes very seriously. As such, he'd become quite shy and meek.
He was currently just twirling some grass in his hand, when a group of older kids approached.
Anna couldn't hear what they were saying... but it was clear that they were beginning to antagonize him.

Lily was silent as she watched the others approaching her brother.
"The hell are you guys doing?" She wondered before getting to her feet and starting to make her way over. She was grateful that none of them had looked in her direction yet.
She was able to make her way over, without even her brotehr noticing her, before they managed to do anything to him. It seemed it was all verbal for the moment.
When she got close, she heard various generic things.
Things like 'weirdo' and 'quiet' and 'wuss' and all that. However, she also heard them insult their family and such, which seemed to rile Luke up.
"Hey! Sh-shut up!" he sputtered.
The leader of the gang responded to this by yanking Luke up by his collar and slamming him against the tree.
"Let's put you in stitches." he snarled.

Lily growled, it was quiet and under her breath, but before anyone knew what was going on, she'd charged in and clocked the ass that was holding her brother up upside the back of his head with enough force to make his face bounc off of her brothers.
"Yeah, see. I heard all that." She stated, her voice sounding far more like her mother's than anyone would find comofortable.
"And I'll prove to you just how wrong you are to pick a fight with an6y of us."
The one holding Luke dropped the draydin, and Luke brought his hands up to where they had collided.
"Ow.." he mumbled, as the older kid turned around.
"Hey." he said.
"You. Screw off." he told her.
"This ain't none of your business." he said further.
"This is between us and the flower wimp."
"Ow.." he mumbled, as the older kid turned around.
"Hey." he said.
"You. Screw off." he told her.
"This ain't none of your business." he said further.
"This is between us and the flower wimp."
Lily didn't say anything before shrugging.
"Your funeral." She then said.
"If you insist on picking a fight with any of us, then you're signing your own death warrant." She added.
"Because that puinch? That was merely a love tap." She then said, her voice darkening.
The boy just growled.
"Listen here..." he said, grabbing HER by her collar.
"I'm gettin' REAL sick of you people-" he started to say further, before he suddenly paused.
"..." he was silent, before his grip loosened, and he grasped at the side of his head.
"OooOooh... woah..." he gurgled.
"Listen here..." he said, grabbing HER by her collar.
"I'm gettin' REAL sick of you people-" he started to say further, before he suddenly paused.
"..." he was silent, before his grip loosened, and he grasped at the side of his head.
"OooOooh... woah..." he gurgled.
"I hit hard." Lily snarled before shoving him aside and stepping up to her brother.
"You all right?"She asked him, not paying any heed to the others that were there.
Luke was silent, and just nodded.
"Yeah." he replied.
"I'm ok." he said.
She then heard the guy she hit collapse to his knees.
"Hey!" one of his cohorts exclaimed.
"What's wrong with you!?" they asked.
He promptly responded by violently vomiting on the ground in front of him.
"Yeah." he replied.
"I'm ok." he said.

Lily paused a moment before looking to her hands.
"Oh yeah." She said before turning and looking to the others that were there.
"Want him to survive? Get him to the nurse. " She stated.
"Because honestly? I have no idea what I did to him."
"What!?" one of them exclaimed.
"The hell does THAT mean!?" they asked her.
"It means you should get him to the nurse, before things get a lot worse for him." Luke replied.
They growled at the draydins, before all three of them got up and ran off.
"You haven't heard the last of this!" one of them yelled back.
"...they're right." Luke sighed.

"...they're right." Luke sighed.
Lily just smirked.
"That means that they haven' theard or seen the last of me, either." She stated calmly.
"Seriously though. Are you all right, Lucas?" She asked, concern in her voice. She was one of the only people who could get away with calling him Lucas, everyone else usually had to call him Luke.
Luke was silent for a moment, and sighed.
"...maybe." he said.
"But they're right." he commented.
"I AM a wuss." he told her.
"I avoid conflict, I hide from bullies, I spend all my time with flowers..." he listed off.
"And now you're going to get in trouble because of that." he said further.
"Because you KNOW Mom and Dad are going to be called into the principal's office for this." he told her.
"...maybe." he said.
"But they're right." he commented.

"Because you KNOW Mom and Dad are going to be called into the principal's office for this." he told her.
"And I also know that as much as I give you a hard time, you ARE my brother, and I would hate for you to change because people are being assholes." Lily stated, her voice plain and blunt.
"I don't give a shit what sort of 'reasons' they give you," she made air quotations around reasons, "because no matter their reasons, it's never a valid reason to change who you are."
"You don't like conflict, which is a biut odd considering what you are, but who cares? You're you."
Luke just nodded in response.
"Yeah..." he said.
He then looked at his sister, and smiled.
"Thanks." he said to her.
"They've never gotten physical before." he went on.
"They usually just say whatever, and leave."
"Yeah..." he said.
He then looked at his sister, and smiled.
"Thanks." he said to her.
"They've never gotten physical before." he went on.
"They usually just say whatever, and leave."
"There is no shame in deterrence. Having a weapon is very different from actually using it." - Ghandi
"And usually that's one thing that can be ignored, or dealt with a lot easier than physical bullshit" Lily commented.
"Although sometimes it's the other way around." She then conceded.
"Anyway, perhaps we should head to the staff, so as to make sure they know the full story." She then said.
