Believe it or not, Lucas can listen as well as he is able to blather on and he’s doubly glad to listen in this case. Sometimes that’s all someone needs is a friendly ear and someone patient enough to lend it.
“Oh, gosh, uh. Almost two years now, I’m still pretty green, actually!” Lucas remarks with a bright smile.
“But I guess it helps that I sort of grew up in the office. Well, I visited a lot. My Mom really wanted me to go into anything else for my own sake, but I couldn’t stay away. It’s hard to when just about every day I run into a spirit or something odd going on.” So he does come across like an old hat at it all, but really he’s still new enough not to have been worn down by excessive paperwork and the trappings of how IOPSA expects their casework to unfold.
“That and the Academy trains you up pretty well.” He chuckles, shaking his head slightly. “You should have seen how I botched my first case without any training wheels on, honestly. Like, I really couldn’t have messed it up more aside from running the ghosts into the resident demon...Whew. But! We did go back and get things sorted, it just took about a year.
The best part is...the families, honestly. It’s hard talking to them, especially if it’s a missing persons case or something like that, but giving them some closure is. Important. Really important, I think. So it’s a job worth doing, you know?”
