[ by all accounts, caelus got out relatively unscathed?? it's unproven at present if it's because he's hardy or because his pheromones did have an effect on lucas after all.
it's probably because he's hardy.
regardless, he can be found on the boardwalk. he has two big soft pretzels. ]
Lucas hesitates for a second at the offer, but he has probably not eaten solid food in over a day by this point and his stomach growls reflexively which makes the fact that he'd clearly been about to shake his head look FOOLISH.]
...No, I've... been feeling like myself again since earlier this morning. But I did wish to apologize for throwing you...
Even so... [LOOKING AT THE PRETZEL. Looking at Caelus. ...Reaching out to take the pretzel... The cheese gets a faintly baffled look, though. His expression is a bit difficult to read, after that, but his response comes quickly.]
We aren't. [ALL MY HOMIES HATE SCIEN BROFIISE.] ...He's just... accustomed.
Cheese and men... Both things. All things. He will pause for a second, looking at this brightass yellow cheese, and then take a careful bite. It's so much for his 19th century tastebuds, but so was all of the food at the amusement park, so he doesn't die on the spot.]
...Thank you for sharing. [Quiet and polite.] I dislike Scien, but I can manage it just as well.
[ welp. given this information, just assume caelus is shooting 'do i need to come over there' glances ALL TRIAL SATURDAY THEN. GIVEN THIS CONTEXT. and i guess lucas either avoids his glances or gives some 'i got this' signal. but damn. ]
You don't have to manage it alone. I know a little what it's like. A version of me used to follow around someone I can't be sure how I feel about. I don't hate Kafka, but if she tried to control me, I would.
[ look sae supports all toxic yaoi but caelus is here if lucas needs a white knight given rondo is too goody two-shoes to start having it out with an npc ]
[HELPPPP THIS IS SO FUNNY amen sweet caelus, it's fine, he will just be giving the i got this signal. Things are so complicated in this house of god.]
...Thank you. You have a very kind heart.
[And he does say this with some genuine softness because he's touched that anyone would want to do anything for him at all after what he's fuckin done with his terrible little paws!!]
I'm sorry that you've had to experience such a thing... ...But Scien doesn't-- ...He isn't. Controlling, that is.
[In general, but especially compared to other people in his life.]

Hey Lucas. Want one?
[ of the pretzels ]
Or are you still on a rampage?

I've been thrown before. It's chill for me.
[ holds out pretzel, expectant. if lucas is good and takes it, caelus will nicely remove a lidded cheese cup from his jacket pocket ]
I didn't know you and Scien were so close.

no subject
[ and he did, uh. take lucas away? after he'd gained a body count.
caelus pops the lid off the cheese. ]
You dip the pretzel then you eat it. [ without actual pause: ] What does 'accustomed' mean here?
no subject
Daintily dipping a tiny bit of his pretzel in...]
A version of myself works for him as a body guard, so he's accustomed to having to deal with... me, I suppose.
no subject
[ other than not die ]
--but if you don't like anything, you should say so if you haven't.
[ cheese. men. whichever.
watching the pretzel dip. go on. eat it, catholic. ]
And if I can help, I'll jump in.
