"Yeah, I've noticed. It's really nice, 'cause back home it took a lot to get people to start accepting us, but here they just seem to accept that I'm a sea monster and that's okay."

And that was way better than having to be afraid again, desperately hiding what he was until someone important in the community might decide to stand up for him.

"That's good to know. I was kind of worried no one showing up meant no one would ever show up."

So it gives him hope, at least. Sure, there were people from home he'd rather not see, but he's fine with taking that chance if it might mean he'll see Alberto again. Seeing Maul yawn, Luca yawned too, his own head feeling heavy from the intoxicating effects of the candy he ate earlier.

"Maybe we should go home and go to bed."

"It is perfectly okay," Maul said firmly. "If anyone says otherwise, you bring them to me, and I will set them straight." Probably in a violent and horribly scary manner, but hey, it was the thought that counted. Perhaps it is just because he is high but is growing very fond of the little sea monster.

"No. One must have hope. I have learned that myself." Maul never would have admitted to such a thing sober but he'd begun to learn the lesson well after spending so much time here with his friends. The power of friendship and love and all that good stuff.

"Yes. A bed would be good." Maul got up, sways for a moment, and then used Luca for balance, resting a hand on the kid's shoulder until he felt the world stop spinning around him. Alright, now he was good to start walking. Good thing his prosthetics could just move and he didn't have to rely on flesh-and-blood legs right now. They likely would have just caused him to keel back over onto the ground.

"Thanks. There are a lot of people here who said the same thing. It's so nice that everyone in this place is so nice."

The warm and fuzzy 'everybody is nice' feeling was only enhanced but the general fuzziness Luca had been feeling all over. He feels even warmer and happier when Maul reminds him to have hope. Only to wobble a lot when he feels Maul's weight on his shoulder. He doesn't stop smiling, though, even if the smile becomes slightly more strained as he focuses on keeping his own balance. Fortunately, Maul's able to hold up his own weight soon enough.

With a wave, Luca says, "Well, see you around!"
