holeful | LUCA CATCHALL

Help I don't have any memes.

[Maybe he will pet it a little more, then.]

Is it something you're good at too, Luca?

[He leans into the touch. It's nice.]

I try to be. Sometimes my temper gets the better of me.

[Well he's definitely going to keep doing it now. Positive reinforcement.]

Ah, I've heard Europeans are quite passionate...

Not an inaccurate description.

[The fuck is a European. Luca is going to assume it's meant to describe him.]

Is that why you were put with Lust?

[Just asking that as if it's a fine thing to ask.]

[Luca is suddenly coughing in surprise, trying not to look sheepish.]

Something like that, I suppose. I never did do anything in half-measures.

No? I don't think I could do that. I'd be worried about overstepping...

Ah...well. I suppose it's a matter of reading the conversation, to know when it's appropriate.

Oh, well that's what I have trouble with...

It's alright, it's not an easy skill to pick up. You're good at other things, yes?

[Scratching the back of his neck.]

I suppose so. Or well, I know about a lot of things?

You do have an interesting reading habit, so I'm not surprised that you know a lot.

But so do you, Luca. And you're still able to be charming like this.

It took a lot of practice to get there, though.

[:O!]

So you had to practice to get like this?

Of course! Speaking is a honed skill, after all. Even outside of learning all the languages I know.

I just thought that was something everyone else could do naturally...

Some people might have an easier time of it, but nobody is born with a silver tongue. It takes practice to learn to walk, doesn't it?
